BITS OF WISDOM.
#1- I found this In a Charlotte Newspaper....
And I honor the man who is willing
to sink,
Half his present reputation for the
freedom to think.
And when he has thought,be his
cause strong or weak,
Will risk the other half for the
freedom to speak.
by James Russel
Lowell.

#2- A memo from the Levy County Bulletin Board....
We the willing
Led by the unknowing
Are doing the impossible
For the ungreatful
We have done so much
For so long
We are now qualified
To do anything
With nothing.

#3-Realize-by Michelle Kutcher
So much of life we all pass by
With heedless ear and careless eye,
Bent with our canes we prod along,
Blind to the beauty,deaf to the
Song.
But moments there are when we pause
to rest
And turn our eyes from the goal's
crest,
We become aware of the wayside
flowers
And sense God's Hand in this world
of ours.

#4-I received this from a people
greeter years ago when I was one at
Wal-Mart.
Something to think about.
Greatest handicap..is...fear.
Our very best day..is..today.
Greatest Mistake...Giving up.
Greatest stumbling block...Ego.
Easiest thing to do......Find
fault.
Our top comfort....Work well done.
Greatest need......Common sense.
Greatest gift....Forgiveness.
Greatest Knowledge....Know God.

Show Me by Kristone
I had rather see a sermon
Than hear one any day.
I'd rather you would walk with me
Than merely tell the way.
The Eye's a better Pupil,and
More convincing than the ear,
Your words may be confusing..
But example's always clear.
I'd rather learn my lessons
By observing how it's done
Conversation might be easy
But your tongue to fast may
run !
I may not fully understand
The fine advice you give,
But there's no misunderstanding
How you act-or how you Live !

The
Burden by Nathan
Miller
If you want your burden to be light
With peace of mind both day and
night
Stop your life that's filled with
sin
Walk pleasing to God in the sight
of men.
If you desire God's blessing
Then you start with sins
confessing,
For it's when you repent
That the blessing is quickly sent.
So if you want God's Grace
For Him not to hide His Face,
So
Now don't hide all your wrong
Under some pretended song
But just confess your sin
And God will surely bless you
again.

# 7- Why should the children of a
King
Go mourning all their days?
Great comfort ! Decend,and bring
Some tokens of Thy...Grace.
Dost Thou not dwell in all Thy
Saints?
And seal them heirs of heaven?
When wilt Thou banish my
complaints,
And shew my sins..Forgiven?
Assure my conscience of her part
In the Redeemer's Blood;
And bear Thy witness with my heart
That I am born of God.
Thou are the earnest of His Love
The pledge of joys to come;
And The soft wings,Celestial Dove
Will safe convey me Home.

# 8- The Ever present Father. by Nathan Miller
How can I direct my steps?
Unless God be my daily helps.
I know that from above
He is guiding me with His Love.
God is ever flowing like a river
That is ever and growing
That He can always deliver
This is so comforting in knowing
He is always a cheerful Giver.
The God of yesterday,today,and
tomorrow
Is always faithful to send His rain
He always comforts in sorrow
As He tales away the pain.

Think Anonymous
If you think you are beaten,you
are;
If you think you dare not,you don't
If you like to win but think you
can't
It's almost a cinch you won't.
If you think you'll lose,you're
lost
For out in the world we find
Success begins with a fellow's
will;
It's all in the state of mind.
If you think you are outclassed,you
are;
You've got to think high and rise,
You've got to be sure of yourself
before
You can ever win a prize.
Life's battles don't always go
To the stronger or faster man;
But soon or late the man who wins
Is the man who thinks he can.

# 10- Don't Quit Author
Unknown.
When things go wrong,as they
sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems
all uphill,
When the funds are low,and the
debts are high,
And you want to smile,but have to
sigh.
When care is pressing you down a
bit,
Rest,if you must,but don't you
quit.
Life is queer with its twists and
turns,
As every one of us sometimes
learns,
And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck
it out.
Don't give up though the pace seems
slow,
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside
out,
The silver tint of the clouds of
doubt,
And you can never tell how close
you are.
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you're
hardest hit,
It's when things seem worst,that
you musy not quit.

It is all because of God's grace
that gives hope to Adam's fallen
race
God created His Family on this
earth,
And gives believers a born-again
birth.
Do not listen to what some may say
That they have found a better way
God made a way for you and me
When He gave Himself at Calvary.
God spoke,and it stood fast
That makes it forever and ever to
last.
Faith will being God so near
As that is only the way God will
hear.
If you want God to answer your
prayer
Just let His Promise be your only
care.
Sickness will turn to health
Poverty will turn to wealth.

Choices by Nathan
Miller.
There is a story that I must tell
It's about Heaven and also hell.
You that are sick can now be well
You don't have to buy or even to
sell.
This is the greatest story I ever
heard
How God's Mighty Power is in His
Word.
That can make the feeble fly like a
bird
So much the more when your heart is
stirred.
You will always be so sad
If you always think on things that
are bad.
And will lead you on till you
become mad
When at last you know what you
could have had.
Good and evil is set before man
Both God and Satan has a plan
Don't be a fool and build on sand
Choose The Rock when you take God's
Hand.
Be in love with Jesus as you read
and pray
And don't listen to what others say
Just keep Living the good old way
For you are headed to the Eternal
Day.
# 13 - The Poem
of Life By Nathan Miller.
Life has so many ups and downs
But start reading that Old Black
Book,
And love the way it sounds.
You will be glad for that look,
That made your heart leap with
bounds
Thats what happens when your heart
is took.
Many have fallen by the wayside
And made a wreck of their life
Because of a selfish pride
Cause much trouble and strife.
There is nothing like God's Love
When it fills the human heart
As it comes from above
When you and your sins depart.
Why is Salvation not on your mind?
For its a shame you don’t think
about being lost,
As you will be forever left behind
Despite Calvary's painful cost.
Now where are you going?
And how did you get here?
Happiness is really knowing,
That banishes all your fear.
That will keep you growing
Day by day,and year by year.
Don't worry about tomorrow
Just thank God for today
And never let any sorrow
Turn your heart away.
Remember to always be kind
Never to let that depart
For that will create peace of mind
And God's Love in your heart.
Never talk of being weak
But always of being strong
Thereby God will always keep
You from being overcome of wrong.
And your lips will then speak
And sing an uplifting song.
*************************************
David Allen in North Carolina once
said;If you must choose between reading
your Bible,and praying,
then read your Bible,because God
has more to say to you,than you have to
say to God.

I wrote once a small article on
higher education,not that I support
ignorance,but too many people
just think that is the answer to
man's problems,so I wrote this short
statement........
Just take a thief,and you educate him,all you have is a thief
that will
steal more and be harder to
catch,as you have polished his
mind,but not polished his heart,or built
character in the inner man.
You see God chose a man's heart,and
Satan chose a man's head,so you then
have a place for a
battle between flesh and Spirit,or
good and evil,or light and darkness.
So remember you win or lose in the
mind,as that is where the battle is,and
if the enemy comes in
on the battlefield,and he meets no
resistance,he takes over,so when evil
thoughts enter the mind,
cast them out,and that way God is
pleased with you,as the mind is the womb
of the soul..
11 Cor.the tenth chapter and verses from 4 to 6 tell this
story....
Right is right if all the world is against it, and wrong is
wrong even if all the world is for it.
