Lists of 30: AMEN to THAT!


"If your everyday life seems poor, don't blame it; blame yourself; admit to yourself that you are not enough of a poet to call forth its riches; because for the creator there is no poverty and no indifferent place." - Rainer Maria Rilke 

 

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else.”

Children already know that.
Fairy tales tell children that dragons can be killed."
~ G.K. Chesterton 


"Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant." --Robert Louis Stevenson 








"I...have never met any such thing as Luck. There is something about all this that I do not understand: but if ever we need to know it, you may be sure that we shall." ~C.S Lewis







"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." ~Dr. Seuss 


Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.

A man should hear a little music, read a little poetry, and see a fine picture every day of his life, in order that worldly cares may not obliterate the sense of the beautiful which God has implanted in the human soul. -Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
 


I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just.

  2. I really hope this doesn't sound creepy or stalkerish...but I think I love you. (I must! We ARE sisters in Christ you know...)

    I'm glad I wasn't drinking coffee because I might have spit it out all over my screen from laughing. Thanks for sharing, you've made my morning! :)

  3. For about a minute, I wondered if I knew you well enough to hack you, and "surprise" you with a big ol' birthday post. But then, my senses returned and I decided friends don't hack friends, no matter how good their intentions are : ) Any way:
    Happy Birthday to you
    Happy Birthday to you
    Happy Birthday Dear-inspiring-amazingly-talented-picture-of-a-Godly-woman-and-gorgeous
    Rebecaaaaaaaa
    Happy Birthday to YOU!

  4. Upon reflection, and so as not to freak you out, I meant "well enough to hack" as I wonder if I could figure out HOW to get into your blog. I'm not that smart thank goodness, and no, I don't know how.

  5. aeolian~ On the contrary- I just *LOVE* to read comments like that! ;-)

    Bonnie~ Hacking ME to bits is not nearly as nice as hacking my blog. So glad you qualified! ;-)

    I bet you probably could figure out how, since I am not at all complicated when it comes to these things. Mainly, because, well, if it is too complicated then I FORGET it. ha! Oh well. This is one of the things I have learned to accept about myself.

    Thank you bunches. I think that your song is the best redition of the birthday song I have ever heard, though I wish I lived up to it! :-)

    The last day of my twenties....and I have a date tonight! What a way to go! :-)
