The Wit and Wisdom of My Buddy, Spence

wow that one almost made me cry.

 

more and more, please

 

That one touched something deep inside me. I have a lot of broken pieces. Maybe God can put me back together again, not unlike poor ol Humpty Dumpty that sat on a wall?

God Will Not
Send Us
Where He Cannot
Sustain Us

 

Hank this is truely a blessing for me today thank you very much. I really needed to hear this today.

The validity of faith
is determined
not by its volume
but by its
object

 

Hank, I believe this is my favorite thread of all time. I've been reminded that the Lord is the source of my strength, my rock, my salvation, my purpose, and my friend. Keep them coming.

 

Thank you, Kim. If I remember correctly, except for a failed cell phone battery, you woud have probably met Spence. He would have liked you, and you him, very much.

Right is still right
if nobody does it
wrong is still wrong
if everybody does it

 

I still marvel at the wisdom..................how could this man have been handicapped?

Defeat
is not bitter
if you do not
swallow it

 

And this one for Aladdin and her son:

What America needs
is a breath
of fresh prayer

 

#29

Never let failure
go to your heart
nor success
to your head

 

Tried to teach my son this one all his life - I think he's learned it for the most part. Thanks for reminding me of it. God this stuff is so good!

The fear of the Lord
is the beginining
of wisdom

 

This one I don't get...why must there be fear?

 

Others may have their interpretations as to the use of the term 'fear,' but I believe that 'fear' connotes 'ultimate respect.' Respect on steroids, perfect respect. So much respect that you actually tremble in its presence. Just imagine, God sits down next to you. I expect that you might be a little intimidated. Don't you?

 

#31

We would be more grateful
if we knew
how much
We take for granted
is arranged by God

 

#32

The Cross Is
The Only Ladder
High Enough
To Touch
Heaven's Threshold

 

#33

Live where you are
as though you will
never more
otherwise you will
never live
