He Was Wounded, We Are Healed
“He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.” Isaiah 53:5

The Best Education
“An eternal question about children is, “How should we educate them?”
Politicians and educators consider more school days in a year, more science and math, the use of computers and other technology in the classroom, more exams and tests, more certification for teachers, and less money for art.
All of these responses come from the place where we want to make the child into the best adult possible, not in the sense of virtuous and wise, but in the sense of one who is an efficient part of the machinery of society. But on all these counts,the soul is neglected.”
-Thomas Moore
“…So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine.(says the LORD)
Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you go to bed and when you get up.”
Deuteronomy 11:19
Leap of Faith
Go for it.
“By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place he was to receive as an inheritance.
He went out, not knowing where he was going.
By faith he migrated to the land of promise…”
Hebrews 11:8
Take Courage My Heart
He’s In The Waiting.♥
“Take courage my heart
Stay steadfast my soul
He’s in the waiting
He’s in the waiting
Hold onto your hope
As your triumph unfolds
He’s never failing
He’s never failing.”
“Wait for ADONAI. Be strong, let your heart take courage, and wait for ADONAI.” – Psalm 27:14
