“There are times when solitude is better than society, and silence is wiser than speech. We should be better Christians if we were more alone, waiting upon God, and gathering through meditation on His Word spiritual strength for labour in his service. We ought to muse upon the things of God, because we thus get the real nutriment out of them. . . . Why is it that some Christians, although they hear many sermons, make but slow advances in the divine life? Because they neglect their closets, and do not thoughtfully meditate on God's Word. They love the wheat, but they do not grind it; they would have the corn, but they will not go forth into the fields to gather it; the fruit hangs upon the tree, but they will not pluck it; the water flows at their feet, but they will not stoop to drink it. From such folly deliver us, O Lord. . . .” ― Charles Spurgeon “Our anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strengths.” ― C. H. Spurgeon “Hope itself is like a star- not to be seen in the sunshine of prosperity, and only to be discovered in the night of adversity.” ― Charles Haddon Spurgeon “If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our dead bodies. And if they perish, let them perish with our arms wrapped about their knees, imploring them to stay. If Hell must be filled, let it be filled in the teeth of our exertions, and let not one go unwarned and unprayed for.” ― Charles Spurgeon “A Bible that’s falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn’t.” ― Charles Spurgeon “Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.” ― Charles Spurgeon “When your will is God's will, you will have your will.” ― Charles Spurgeon (Philippians 2:13, KJV) https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/2876959.Charles_Haddon_Spurgeon    |
Silence kept for many days and friends away from hopeful face. Social distance keeps from other's sickness, preventing needed interactions, too. The cure is worse than the disease, this separation. A broken spirit dries up bones. Merry heart, good medicine. COVID crushes health. SHALOM over death. Hope restores two hearts. Victory will have its new day. The cure is best when the disease is nullified. Beneficial touch will restore health to the bodies of sickness. Joyful laughter brings friends together for days of truest living health. by Jay O'Toole on February 12th, 2021 |

peaceful place to stay cozy in the ground below respite from the world by Jay O'Toole on February 3rd, 2021 |
silken threads so bright o'er the ground a snowy sheen noonday glow at night by Jay O'Toole on February 2nd, 2021 |
The northern states have snow enough to glaze the rolling doughnuts of the tires, 'round lakes. New Yorkers bundle for these frigid days, and walk only when taxis can't they take. Further South the snow not seen the year is playing hide and seek in clouds of frost. The freezing temps make one thing very clear. Small animals must house at every cost. In Florida, the snow's the sandy beach, but winter's chill removes the romping droves. The Lord of Glory has so much to teach. The weather covers every pinkish nose. He speaks one word, and all are silent still. He breathes His snow, and all obey His Will. by Jay O'Toole on February 1st, 2021 |
