Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen Keller

Lam van God,

vandag staan ek met nuwe verwondering

voor die grootsheid van U

verlossingsdaad.

Dat U vir my gesterf het,

laat my hart van dankbaarheid oorloop.

Dat U vir my opgestaan het,

vul my met oorstepte vreugde.

En die wete

dat U elke dag saam met my leef…

dit, Here Jesus, gee aan my vrede oor die

verlede, gemoedsrus in die hede

en ‘n heerlike vervulde

toekomsverwagting.

“Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do.”

Goethe

Doing must be part of being, doing what is important, doing what is our passion, to kindle the fire of the soul.

The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled.

Plutarch

Finally on my way to yes
I bump into
all the places
where I said no
to my life
all the untended wounds
the red and purple scars
those hieroglyphs of pain
carved into my skin,
my bones,
those coded messages
that send me down
the wrong street
again and again
where I find them
the old wounds
the old misdirections
and I lift them
one by one
close to my heart
and I say
holy holy holy

Everything I need to know about life, I learned from Noah’s Ark :
One : Don’t miss the boat.
Two : Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three : Plan ahead. It wasn’t raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four : Stay fit. When you’re 600 years old, someone may ask you to do something really big.
Five : Don’t listen to critics; just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six : Build your future on high ground.
Seven : For safety sake, travel in pairs.
Eight : Speed isn’t always an advantage. The snails were on board with t he cheetahs.
Nine : When you’re stressed, float a while.
Ten : Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs; the Titanic by professionals.
Eleven: No matter the storm, when you are with God, there’s always a rainbow waiting.

You were born to be real, not to be perfect. You are here to be you, not to live someone else’s life.

Every day you make some progress and every day you make a few mistakes. Through it all, your wisdom continues to grow and your experience continues to broaden.

Be gentle with yourself. Accept who you are, where you have been, and what you have to work with, for in this moment you can make positive use of it all.

Reach in and touch the purpose that makes you feel most alive. The world around you is filled with places where that purpose can do great things.

It is never too late to offer your unique and genuine gifts to life. Now is the time to do great things, even in the smallest of ways.

Choose to fully and graciously live life as it comes. The richest rewards by far are the ones to which you most sincerely give of yourself.

Ralph Marston

The right word may be effective,
but no word was ever as effective
as a rightly timed pause.”
–Mark Twain

If God had a refrigerator; your picture would be on it.

If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it.

He sends you flowers every spring.

He sends you a sunrise every morning…face it, He’s crazy about you!

God did not promise days without pain,

Laughter without sorrow,

or sun without rain.

He did promise strength for the day, Comfort for the tears,

And light for the way.
