How can we truly understand who we are unless we know who we were and what we have the power to become?

Ironically, as some people become harder, they use softer words to describe dark deeds. This, too, is part of being sedated by secularism. Needless abortion, for instance, is a "reproductive health procedure, . . ." "Illegitimacy" gives way to the wholly sanitized words "non-marital birth" or "alternative parenting."

We should certainly count our blessings, but we should also make our blessings count.

The prompting that goes unresponded to may not be repeated. Writing down what we have been prompted with is vital. A special thought can be lost later in the day through the rough and tumble of life. God should not, and may not, choose to repeat the prompting if we assign what is given such a low priority as to put it aside.

We should not assume; however, that just because something is unexplainable by us, it is unexplainable.

The harrowing of the soul can be like the harrowing of the soil; to increase the yield, things are turned upside down.

Many of those engaged in a lemming-like march to the sea are proud of their individualism.
