“There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.”
~ Colin Powell

The gospel is so simple that small children can understand it, and it is so profound that studies by the wisest theologians will never exhaust its riches.
From Martha: I have always argued that children are born with an inherent sense of their Creator and that children are not talked into believing in God, but rather talked out of what they came into this world already knowing on some level.
About Letters
“A letter can restore a relationship or change the world. Half of the New Testament is made up of letters, mostly from Paul, but also from Peter, James, John and Jude. Letters are forever.”
– Martha Williamson
Ah, Hope!
Ah, Hope! what would life be, stripped of thy encouraging smiles, that teach us to look behind the dark clouds of to-day, for the golden beams that are to gild the morrow.
– Susanna Moodie, Canadian author, Life in the Clearing
For Today
Do all the good you can
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
– John Wesley (1703 – 1791)

A Special Easter Message
Easter Sunday
One Day Before Easter
Nobody talks about Easter Saturday, the long, gloomy day between Good Friday and Easter Morning that to the disciples must have felt like Hope had just been sealed off forever by a rock. But to me, that in-between Saturday is all about a rock that is really a door just waiting to be flung open once again by Love. Easter Saturday is Trust Day. And this is my Saturday Stone. Thank you for painting this, Barb Pearl. You didn’t know what it would become, but our dear Burt must have inspired you. He was always the best example of trusting in a new day. #Easter #journey #hope #love #TBAA #TouchedByAnAngel #inspiration #trust
Good Friday
Beaten, humiliated, rejected, tortured and taunted for preaching the gospel of love, for teaching acceptance of the stranger, kindness to the weak, hope for the lost, forgiveness to others and humility for our own failures. Condemned for sharing the truth that we are human and imperfect and we simply can’t save ourselves from ourselves without grace. Broken for the message that the death of our souls is worse than the death of our bodies. Executed for promising that three days can rebuild a temple or a life. Crucified for promising that three days will change…everything. #EasterWeekend #GoodFriday #journey #crucifixion #threewoodencrosses #GospelofLove
