We must take heed of thinking that God doth any thing without cause; No, the wise God doth every thing in number, weight and measure; he doth everything upon great reason, upon the highest reason. God will not do the lowest thing, but upon the height of reason, he doth the least thing upon great [...]

I heard a saying by Pastor Joe Moorecraft some time ago, that where Calvinism and ignorance met, one of them left the field. Yet sometimes ignorance can be all prevailing in subtle or not so subtle ways in our own lives that the Calvinists themselves are ignorant. They may know the five points of TULIP [...]

For his own protection re: obesity? He weighs 15 stones at eight years old. Four times the average weight. I could say plenty on this but would probably need to choose my words carefully, but if folks are going to have kids, you’d think the least they could do would be to learn to look [...]

Crying Club
Apparently it is the new idea for stress relief, and they are open in England too. Clubs where people can go to have a good bawl and boo hoo and all cry togther! I dunno about anyone else, but I feel crying is a private thing you do on your own, and it should [...]
I hate stupidity

I hate stupidity I always have done. Yet suddenly I feel one of the stupid people for want of a better term, that has nothing to do with this illness or the toll it takes on my brain. Someone who has spent a life time, always having a "ready answer" even if it was the [...]
Immortality comes by sinlessness
Posted in Quotes, Richard Baxter on February 25, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Why should I, by the fears of death, strive against the common course of nature and against my only hopes of happiness? Is it not "appointed unto men once to die?" Would I have God make sinful man immortal upon earth? When we are sinless we shall be immortal. The love of life was given [...]

Ever feel..?

Do you ever feel like the dog who chases its tail going round and round in circles, never gaining what you are trying to aim for, going nowhere fast?
Yep, me too.
My life is done

My prime of youth is but a frost of cares,
My feast of joy is but a dish of pain,
My crop of corn is but a field of tares,
And all my good is but vain hope of gain;
The day is past, and yet I saw no sun,
And now I live, and now my life is done.
