these will keep you going for years...

it is not a good day to go to bed and have no blood on my sword

not all who wander are aimless

Your preparation is in direct relation to your purpose

The young do not know enough to be prudent, and therefore they attempt the impossible -- and achieve it, generation after generation (American Writer Pearl S. Buck 1892-1973)

The greatest destroyer of peace is abortion because if a mother can kill
her own child, what is left for me to kill you and you to kill me? There
is nothing between.

It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may
live as you wish.

heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out demons and never changing the subject

It is a kingly act to assist the fallen.

The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving.

it is foolish to worship angels, it is equally foolish to ignore them

if i leave prayer the same way i went in, i wasn't praying, i was complaining.

on earth as it is in heaven - there is no cancer in heaven!

unbelief is anti-christ in nature.

God is good.

performing for none, living for one.

if you fear man, then you will not fear God.

you're area of greatest opposition is your area of destiny

disappointment will either push you towards breakthrough or to back away from it.

it's not humility to deny what Jesus exchanged with you at the cross - he got all of you and you got all of him.

joshua 1:5-9

If you want to be kept by God, you must keep.

Sin is a heart problem, a mistake is a mistake.

Fall

It’s now fall in America and autumn over here. The same season with different names and different cultures. I used to think that the US didn’t really have a culture. It was just a watered down conglomerate of cultures mixed with a hefty portion of modern consumerism. But, on living there I found much culture, particularly in the season we call autumn and they call fall.

I also discovered that whilst the US lead the way in the delivery of movies, serials, and Starbucks, that they (well the ones I met) are way more traditional then us Europeans. The guys carry your shopping (I grew up thinking you had to pay people to do that), they throw ‘showers’ (not the bathroom kind – the party kind) and the woman still do crafts (the paper and scissors kind not the witch kind). Even the homes are more classically decorated. So it not surprising that on entering an autumnal home, you will find spice candles lit in the bathroom, ivy and fall leaves arranged on the mantle-piece and miniature strange looking pumpkin things arranged in clusters on any available surface.

So as I was a student of culture last year in Cali, I attempted to embrace every new experience and, of course, get to the bottom of the mini-pumpkin situation. Well that’s what I told everyone. I couldn’t let on that my independant, busy, modern woman self, was more than just intrigued by this creative domesticity. In true Stepford fashion, the candles and the crafts overtook me. Soon I found myself spending my Saturday afternoons giddily cutting and gluing and making and baking at girls ‘get-together’ parties. A glass of sparkling grape in one hand and a Hershey Kisses in the other, we talked, and chatted and dreamed like little girls or old wives. I loved it.

Though I left America, America didn’t quite leave me. So as the leaves started to turn this year, a flurry of candle buying and leave collection took place. I also visited hobby-craft (somewhere I had never been before) to buy crafty stuff and complained the whole way around that it was so limited. Oh dear. Anyway, I emerged armed with tissue paper and skeleton leaves and have proceeded to spend the last week decorating the house for ‘Fall’. A little trip to Ikea nailed the candles and table runner.

All this to say. I love Autumn and now Autumn is in my house. Sigh of contentment and much smiles of happiness. I’m all cultured.

6.7 million

On the 27 October, 1967, the Abortion Act was officially passed in the UK Parliament. As Big Ben struck midnight it was the beginning of a day which marks the 40th Anniversary of this Act, an Act which has resulted in the loss of 6.7 million unborn lives, a figure which is rapidly approaching the total figure of the population of London and the number who died in the Holocaust.
