πŸ‘‘ Creatures of Habit

Mahatma Gandhi wrote: “Your beliefs become your thoughts, your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions, your actions become your habits, your habits become your values, your values become your destiny.” Since the word “habit” is a synonym forΒ pattern,Β this quote reminds me of the evenΒ … ➑

πŸ‘‘ A Pattern of Sobriety

To teach his teenaged son about the dangers of alcohol, a father dropped a worm in a glass of water, and it just kind of wiggled around, the way worms do on your hook when you go fishing. But then he dropped another worm in whiskey, and it promptly … ➑

πŸ‘‘ Discretion Is the Better Part of Glamour

You’ve probably heard the old saying, “Discretion is the better part of valor.” This Shakespearean expression is said to mean thatΒ good judgmentΒ is better than rash bravery, andΒ prudenceΒ is preferable to careless courage.

πŸ’‘πŸ‘‘ Have You Heard?

β€œIf ye have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me to you-ward” (Eph. 3:2).

πŸ’‘πŸ’Œ Is This a Contradiction?

“Matthew says the chief priests took the money Judas cast down in the temple and bought the ‘field of blood.’ Peter, in Acts, says that Judas bought the field with the ‘reward of iniquity.’ On the surface, this appears to be a contradiction.”

πŸ‘‘ Be Sure of What’s Pure!

“Unto the pure all things are pure…” (Titus 1:15).
