Bid Ulcers Adieu
According to someone quoted by Hunter Adams in the June 23 entry in a Barbara Johnson calendar:
Ulcers can’t grow while you’re laughing.
Is it true?
Reflective Snippets
At the end of my print reading earlier this morning:
Love thyself last. Look near, behold thy duty
To those who walk beside thee down life’s road.
Make glad their days by little acts of beauty
And help them bear the burden of earth’s load. —Wilcox

And help them bear the burden of earth’s load. —Wilcox
And from my online reading:
“I’m holding one more broken piece from the edifice of pride I’ve tended around my ego….” —Tony Woodlief
“The mistake he sometimes made was in attempting to mandate others to be like him….” —Marvin Olasky
“Came away grateful despite all his sadness and torments….” (Olasky still writing about Calvin)
“Uh. . . what exactly does it mean if an oven is self-cleaning?” —Matt Smucker
I think people of peace often feel that they are not useful. I’m sure that people within the conflict often suspect that those attempting to be peacemakers don’t fully understand the conflict. When peace is always on your mind, when it is the thing you’re striving for, can you truly understand the language of those who are prolonging the conflict? —Will Loewen
What has you reflecting?
To the Hilt
What do you do when you discover the hard way that someone you should have been able to trust had a dagger up his sleeve…waiting for your back to be turned?
(Figuratively, of course.)
How do you respond to someone who deals nicely with you to your face…but easily deals treacherously with you otherwise?

Measure the Light
“Measure the light. and not the lamp.”
In its context, what a great quote!
Now I’ll modify it and another:
By its light shall you know the lamp.
Now a question for you: What’s the quote I blended in with the first one?
Healthy Heart
What’s in your heart?
What is the focus of your heart?
What comes out of your heart?
What does God see in your heart?
Is it all healthy and healthful?
