"Winston Churchill: The Pillars of Leadership"

Sunday, September 14

Churchill_V_sign_HU_55521

"Come on now all you young men, all over the world.  You have not an hour to lose.  You must take your places in Life's fighting line.  Don't be content with things as they are.  Enter upon your inheritance, accept your responsibilities.  Raise the glorious flags again, advance them upon the new enemies, who constantly gather upon the front of the human army, and have only to be assaulted to be overthrown.  Don't take No for an answer.  Never submit to failure.  Do not be fobbed off with mere personal success or acceptance.  You will make all kinds of mistakes; but as long as you are generous and true, and also fierce, you cannot hurt the world or even seriously distress her."

~Never Give In; The Extraordinary Character of
Winston Churchill

Excerpt From: The Valley of Vision

Friday, September 5

"If I oppose the Word I oppose my Lord when he is most near;
If I receive the Word I receive my Lord wherein he is nigh.
O thou who hast the hearts of all men in thine hand,
form my heart according to the Word,
according to the image of thy Son,
So shall Christ the Word, and his Word, be my strength
and comfort."

~ The Valley of Vision


"Herein is wonder of wonders:
he came below to raise me above,
was born like me that I might become like him.

Herein is love; when I cannot rise to him he draws near on wings of grace, to raise me to himself."

~ The Valley of Vision
