The Askew

I was reading in this page-a-day bible book given to me called, "Our Daily Bread" today. It was given to me by a Baptist pastor I just recently met when I dropped by one Sunday for a service. Good sermon.
Anyway, I was reading and the last bits of this book tend to have a quote of some sort on it. Here was todays:
Christian are you disappointed
With the world and all around?
Turn your eyes from earth to heaven,
Where true joys may all be found.
-Anon.
I thought it was quite what I need to hear... even though I didn't have a clue what I needed to hear until I heard it. It was much the same yesterday as well...
I never walk alone, Christ walks beside me,
he is the dearest Friend I've ever known;
With such a friend to comfort and to guide me,
I never, no, I never walk alone.
-Ackley
We all need to hear that every once in a while. We aren't alone in our decisitions and choices. And likewise, the consequences from our decisions may be small or large on this world, but it is nothing to what's in store for us in the hereafter...

Interesting thoughts for the day....

I have often found comfort/encouragement/etc in that little book as well. I'm glad you enjoy it too.


Oh, and I have to dissagree with your comments on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory... I think the difference in directors made a lot more difference than the effects technology. Mr. Burton was more true to the actual book, too.

Humm.... do I have anything more to say? ... it's been so long that I feel I should.....

Say! Are we going to see you at Lifelight this year?
