Love Is Patient...

2008-09-07T02:19:00.000-07:00

I may speak in tongues of men or of angels, but if I am without love, I am a sounding gong or a clanging cymbal. I may have the gift of prophecy, and know every hidden truth; I may have faith strong enough to move mountains; but if I have no love, I am nothing.

I may dole out all I possess, or even give my body to be burnt, but if I have no love, I am none the better.

Love is patient; love is kind and envies no one. Love is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offense. Love keeps no score of wrongs; does not gloat over other men's sins, but delights in the truth. There is nothing love cannot face; there is no limit to its faith, its hope, and its endurance.

The Bible, 1st Book Of Corinthians

This is the beginning of a new day. You have been given this day to use as you will. You can waste it or use it for good. What you do today is important because you are exchanging a day of your life for it. When tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever; in its place is something that you have left behind...let it be something good.

Light

2008-07-13T14:17:00.000-07:00

I would not interfere
With any creed of yours
Or want to appear
that I have all the cures.

There is so much to know....
So many things are true.
The way my feet must go
May not be best for you.

And so I give this spark
Of what is Light to me,
To guide you through the dark,
But not tell you what to see.

Then suddenly, the spirit will emerge through the lives of ordinary people who hear a call and answer in extraordinary ways."
