We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
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)

Funny faces dancing high,
smiling out at me.
Kitty cats and doggies lie
above the mounts I see.

Ocean-going vessels steam
to regions far beyond.
Schools of happy fishes team
in a joyous, loving bond.

Flowers sprout and dance in rows
upon the golden dusk.
Children slide upon the bows,
while learning full to trust.

Dinosaurs and elephants
all lumber slowly by.
Books of pages, thoughts they grant
in readers' grassy lie.

Speeding cars and motorboats
make way throughout the blue.
Sheepish lambs and bearded goats
are baaing over you.

Candy canes and cupcakes call
to hungry passersby.
Pizzas and big hotdogs fall
the need to satisfy.

Baseball bats make homers soar,
and Jordan slams it home.
Lazy days by canoe oar
make thoughts and bodies roam.

State the state you think you see.
Capital idea.
Country homes all shining free,
hopefully to see ya.

Art of hopes and sleepy dreams.
Paint by hand or nod.
Imagination has its themes,
which viewers then applaud.

Dozing off on pillows blest
by He, Who made it all.
Waking with the mind refreshed
as pictures ever call.

Hurry up to get it down.
Write, and write, again.
Edit 'til the weary frown
will finally let you win.

Word Count: Ever-present foe,
insatiable its gut.
This task doth not a subject know.
Each bard must crack this nut.

A poem of a springtime flower.
Essays teach of God.
Novels must have lasting power
to make all eyes applaud.

The Israelites must find their straw,
complete their tale of bricks,
but writing ever has a law,
"Get focus! Get it quick!"

The deadline barks as writers jump,
"2000 in a day!"
The ready pen will noggin thump,
demanding best display.

So, hurry up or not at all.
Just write and write, again.
"You've got a job!" it ever calls.
"You're paycheck has to win!"

Some day we'll write to edify,
but now, "Just get 'er done!"
The deadline barks. We must comply
with subject best or none.

The gift of friends of ages all,
extends beyond today.
I'm thankful for the privileged call
to act within this play.

Respect is due the human race
to old and young from God.
We bless the owners of each place,
and workers we applaud.

The owners bring resource to bear,
and workers gifted hands.
Directors lead us and they share
the smoothness of good plans.

Song and dance brings joy to heart.
Smiles bring light to minds.
Blessed friendships, that we start
last throughout Life's long times.

Newsies sell the headlines, rare,
although some may repeat.
Entertainment lifts from care,
and gets us on our feet.

Jack and Katherine have grown
to be more than "just friends."
Racetrack rules New York as known
by song and dance, that blends.

The victory of Life we see
is Win-Win from the start.
I bless you as you bless me,
and Joy then fills each heart.

Predators fly.
Doggie retreats.
She rests inside the house.
Fortress blocks out the bad.

Christ, the Lord, has risen, today.
He's the Fortress of our safety.
Distress is but a day.
Shalom is lived fore'er.
