Thanks, Sono, for this Quote

As it is necessary to repair...the body by the frequent meal, so we must repair...the soul by feeding upon the Book of God, or by listening to the preached Word, or by the soul-fattening table of the ordinances.

How depressed are our graces when means are neglected! What poor starvelings some saints are who live without the diligent use of the Word of God and secret prayer!

If our piety can live without God it is not of divine creating; it is but a dream; for if God had begotten it, it would wait upon him as the flowers wait upon the dew.

Without constant restoration we are not ready for the perpetual assaults of hell, or the stern afflictions of heaven, or even for the strifes within...

If we suffer the good to grow weaker, the evil will surely gather strength and struggle desperately for the mastery over us...

from Morning & Evening by Charles Spurgeon (Jan 2, Evening)

Not sure about blogs

My ideas are too much in flux...and isn't there something somewhere about "A fool delights only in revealing his own mind"?

I don't pretend to be wise, very far from it.  So why express my foolishness?

A good friend said, in regards to the things of God, "We can know truly but not exhaustively"

Whatever I say is going to be inadequate and incomplete in it's expression.  And likely to be misunderstood, as the witten word is unable to convey tone.

But my page looked so empty!  ;)
