Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
on your own intelligence rely not;
In all your ways be mindful of him,
and he will make straight your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
The beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord,
and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
Proverbs 9:10
Toil not to gain wealth,
cease to be concerned about it;
While your glance flits to it, it is gone!
for assuredly it grows wings,
like the eagle that flies toward heaven.
Proverbs 23:4-5
He who obeys the commandments he has from me
is the man who loves me;
and he who loves me will be loved by my Father.
I too will love him and reveal myself to him.
John 14:21
No sooner had he said this than he was lifted up
before their eyes in a cloud which took him from
their sight.
Acts 1:9
From about half past ten in the evening to
about half an hour after midnight.
Fire.
God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob,
Not the God of philosophers and scholars.
Absolute Certainty: Beyond reason. Joy. Peace.
Forgetfulness of the world and everything but God.
The world has not known Thee, but I have known Thee.
Joy! joy! joy! Tears of joy!
Blaise Pascal
-- from a scrap of paper found
sewn up in his doublet after
his death.
