That which we promise, we are to perform. If we cannot, we shall not promise.

Every statement we make is a promise in the eyes of someone. Don’t speak unless you wish to be held accountable. And "there was silence in heaven about the space of half an hour." Rev 8:1

The higher we go, the easier it is to see the reasons for everything.

The only reason for today is tomorrow.

To be greater than our suffering is to be who God wants us to be. Ask Jesus, Paul, many others, Jeanne d’Arc.

On my news mail there were nine tag lines: Not one concerned the mainland U.S.A. They concerned:

Turkey

China

Afghanistan

Briton

Iraq

Australia

Haiti (kind of US)

Mexico

Iran

Do we or do we not have problems in America?

This is the west, not the east.

The sun may rise over their shoulder,

But it sets over ours.

The last shall be first and the first shall be last. Matt 20:16

No matter where we are, we all are in the west relative to those in the east.

Fair winds and following seas.
