George Augustus Moore Quote

A man travels the world over in search of what he needs, and returns home to find it.

From Joshua 24:15:  “Now if you are unwilling to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served in the region beyond the River or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living, but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”

George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) was an Irish novelist, short story writer, and poet.  He has often been regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist.

Dreamland Express

Nightly journey

Making every turn

Dreamland Express

Locomotive churns

 

Night’s stardust twirls

Beaming moonlight shines

Dreams coloring

Brilliant skyline

 

Stillness breathing

Dancing with more guests

Each dream connects

Peace surrounds night’s quest

 

Endless travels

Finding elation

Dreams speak softly

Night’s destination

 

Early dawn’s pause

Closing nighttime’s gate

Dreamland Express

Morning’s station waits

Tom Hanks Quotes

A hero is somebody who voluntarily walks into the unknown.

There’s no substitute for a great love who says, “No matter what’s wrong with you, you’re welcome at this table.”

Tom Hanks (born 1956) is an American actor and filmmaker.  Easily transitioning between comedic and dramatic roles, he has become one of the most honored and respected in his profession.  He is an avid collector of manual typewriters with a collection of well over 200.

Opening Thy Door

Standing outside door

Holy Son of Man

Knocking and waiting

Sharing Father’s grace plan

 

Conquering darkness

Timeless gift He brings

Coming to serve man

Soaring on eagle’s wings

 

Hearing now His voice

Sacred, divine love

Calling to repent

Witnessing from above

 

Opening thy door

Christ boldly walks in

Showing wounded hands

Forgiving every sin

Jesus teaches us with patience.  He steadfastly waits for His moment when we hear and listen.

Charles Stanley Quote

Our connection with God cannot be a one-way street.  We will get to know our Father more intimately when we learn to listen.

From Isaiah 30:21:  “And when you turn to the right or when you turn to the left, your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.'”
