Much of our difficulty as seeking Christians stems from our unwillingness to take God as He is and adjust our lives accordingly. We insist upon trying to modify Him and bring Him nearer to our own image.
A. W. Tozer

Right is right, even if everyone is against it, and wrong is wrong, even if everyone is for it.
William Penn




An open mind is good. So is an open window. But you still put a screen on it to keep the bugs out.
Unknown

Don’t confuse fame with success. Madonna is one and Helen Keller is the other.
Erma Bombeck

    The picture is beautiful, Sally. I’ve been to the UP a number of times, but somehow we never made it to the falls. Isn’t it kind of out of the way?

    Thanks for the great quotes. Especially the one by Tozer. You read anywhere and it isn’t long before you see people doing just that. God isn’t very comfortable and the lives He calls us to aren’t either.

    Hi Cheri! According to DH, the falls are about an hour N/NW of the Mackinac Bridge. We actually went there the day that he proposed to me, but he didn’t propose there. He made me wait almost all day until we were at Whitefish Point. But that is a whole ‘nother blog entry!
