  • I'm not dead!! ... what do you mean "yet"?

    SURPRISE!!!!!!!  Did I scare you?  I haven't done this in a while, but I would like to put some more funny quotes up.  Here we go I guess.

  • C. H. Spurgeon

    Quotes from C. H. Spurgeon, this is another amazing man with abounding wisdom given from God.  This is the last set of quotes that I can foresee for a while.


    There are no crown wearers in heaven who were not cross bearers here below.

    But if you should not live to see it on earth, remember you are only accountable for your labor and not for your success. Sow still, toil on! "Cast thy bread upon the waters, and thou shalt find it again after many days," for god will not allow His word to be wasted; "It shall not return unto him void, it shall accomplish that which he pleases."

    You shall have a harvest whatever you are doing. I trust you are all doing something. If I cannot mention what your peculiar engagement is, I trust you are all serving God in some way, and you shall assuredly have a harvest wherever you are scattering your seed. But suppose the worst-if you should never live to see the harvest in this world, you shall have a harvest when you get to heaven. If you live and die a disappointed man in this world, you shall not be disappointed in the next. I think how surprised some of God's people will be when they get to heaven. They will see their Master, and He will give them a crown. "Lord, what is that crown for?" "That crown is because thou didst give a cup of cold water to one of My disciples." "What! A crown for a cup of cold water?" "Yes," says the Master, "that is how I pay my servants. First I give them grace to give that cup of water, and then, having given them grace, I give them a crown." "Wonders of grace to God belong." He that soweth liberally shall reap liberally, and he that soweth grudgingly shall reap sparingly.



    How can God's people go to purgatory? For if they go there at all,
    they go there for sins which God does not remember, and so he
    cannot give a reason for sending them there. Does God forgive
    and forget and yet punish? When you die you shall either go to
    heaven or to hell, and that immediately. Your state in either case
    will be fixed eternally without the possibility of change.

    This doctrine is the cornerstone of PROTESTANTISM.

     

    Christ did not redeem his church with his blood that the pope might

    come in and steal away the glory. He never came from heaven to earth,
    and poured out his very heart that he might purchase his people, that
    a poor sinner, a mere man, should be set upon high to be admired
    by all the nations, and to call himself God's representative on earth.
    Christ has always been the Head of the church.

    A man who deludes other people, by degrees comes to delude himself.

     

    The deluder first makes dupes of others and then becomes a dupe to himself.

     

    I should not wonder but what the Pope really believes that he is infallible,

     

    and that he ought to be saluted as "his holiness." It must have taken him a

     

    good time to arrive at that eminence of self-deception, but he has got to that,

     

    I dare say, by now, and everyone who kisses his toe confirms him in this

     

    insane idea. When everybody else believes a flattering falsehood concerning

     

    you, you come at last to believe it yourself; or at least to think that it may be

     

    so. These Pharisees, being continually called "the learned rabbi," "the holy

     

    scribe," "the devout and pious doctor," "the sanctified  teacher," almost

     

    believed the flattering compliments. They used very grand phrases in those

     

    days, and doctors of divinity were very common, almost as common as

     

    they are now; and the crowd of doctors and rabbis helped  to keep each

     

    other in countenance by repeating one another's fine names till they believed

     

    they meant something. Dear friends, it is very difficult to receive honour and

     

    to expect it, and yet to keep your eyesight; for men's eyes gradually grow

     

    dull through the smoke of the incense which is burned before them; and

     

    when their eyes become dim with self-conceit, it will not be all marvellous

     

    if they say, "We cannot believe in Jesus Christ." Their own great selves

     

    conceal the cross, and make them unable to believe the truth.

  • I just love these quotes that I find

    These quotes are all from Winston Churchill.

    A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen.

    An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.

    Battles are won by slaughter and maneuver. The greater the general, the more he contributes in maneuver, the less he demands in slaughter.

    By swallowing evil words unsaid, no one has ever harmed his stomach.

    Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.

    Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!

    History is written by the victors.

    History will be kind to me for I intend to write it.

    However beautiful the strategy, you should occasionally look at the results.

    I am always ready to learn although I do not always like being taught.

    I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

    I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.

    I like a man who grins when he fights.

    I'm just preparing my impromptu remarks.

    If you are going through hell, keep going.

    If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time-a tremendous whack.

    In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.

    In war, you can only be killed once, but in politics, many times.

    In wartime, truth is so precious that she should always be attended by a bodyguard of lies.

    Kites rise highest against the wind - not with it.

    Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

    My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.  (haha)

    Nothing in life is so exhilarating as to be shot at without result.

    Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong.

    Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.

    The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.

    There are a terrible lot of lies going about the world, and the worst of it is that half of them are true.

    Too often the strong, silent man is silent only because he does not know what to say, and is reputed strong only because he has remained silent.

    War is a game that is played with a smile. If you can't smile, grin. If you can't grin, keep out of the way till you can.

    We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out.

    We shall show mercy, but we shall not ask for it.

    You can always count on Americans to do the right thing - after they've tried everything else.

    You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.

    The length of this document defends it well against the risk of its being read.

  • Personality

    These are some quizes that I took that try to tell me who I am.  See for yourself, they are at http://www.blogthings.com/.

     

    Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
    You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
    You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.

    Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace.
    You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
    Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.

    At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
    You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
    You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

     

    You are an incredibly stable and happy person.
    Ever consider being a therapist?
    You have figured out how to keep a positive outlook, no matter what.
    You don't have an easier life than anyone else. You just have figured things out a little more.

     

    You're a pretty stable and serious person. You don't take things lightly.
    This doesn't mean you can't have fun - you just have fun responsibly.
    You definitely have a spontaneous side, but you only let loose when it's appropriate.

     

    You are on a quest for knowledge and life challenges.
    You love to be curious and ask a ton of questions.
    Since you know so much, you make for an interesting conversationalist.
    Mentally alert, you can outwit almost anyone (and have fun doing it!).

    Very introspective, you can be silently critical of others.
    And your quiet nature makes it difficult for people to get to know you.
    You see yourself as a philosopher, and you take everything philosophically.
    Your main talent is expressing and communicating ideas.

     

    48% Cynical

    Yes, you are cynical, but more than anything, you're a realist.
    You see what's screwed up in the world, but you also take time to remember what's right.

     

    You and dogs definitely have a lot in common.
    You're both goofy, happy, and content with the small things in life.
    However, you're definitely not as needy as the average dog. You need your down time occasionally.

     

    You Will Not Be a Cool Parent
     
    And that's pretty okay. While your kids may not think of you as a friend, they will respect you.
    You know that kids need discipline and structure, and you're not afraid to give it to them.
    Just be careful that your strictness doesn't lead to rebellion.
    It's good to have standards and rules, but you don't need to have an iron fist when enforcing them.
