"And all the time the joke is that the word 'mine' in its fully possessive sense cannot be uttered by a human being about anything. In the long run either our Father or the Enemy will say 'mine' of each thing that exists, and specifically of each man. They will find out in the end, never fear, to whom their time, their souls, and their bodies really belong - certainly not to them, whatever happens"

- C.S. Lewis, Screwtape Letters

"The most beautiful discovery true friends make is that they can grow separately without growing apart"

- Elizabeth Foley

"Its today!" squeaked Piglet,

"My favorite day," said Pooh

"The clouds above us join and separate,

the breeze in the courtyard leaves and returns.

Life is like that, so why not relax?

Who can stop us from celebrating?"

-Lu Yu

I am part of the fellowship of the unashamed. The dye has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made; I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.

I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away or be still. My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, and my future is secure. Im finished and done with low living, sight walking, small planning, smooth knees, colorless dreams, worldly taking, cheap giving, and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need pre-eminence, prosperity, position, promotions, plaudits, or popularity. I now live by presence, learn by faith, love by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power. My pace is set, my gait is fast, my goal is Heaven. My road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few, my Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, diluted or delayed.

I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity, or meander in the maze of mediocrity. I won't give up, shut up, or let up until I have stayed up, stored up, and paid up for the case of Christ. I must go till He comes, give until I drop, preach until all know, and work until He stops me. And when He returns for His own He will have no problem recognizing me.

My banner will be clear.

"For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth..." Romans 1:16

(Dr. Bob Moorehead)
