David Mitchell Quotes
What is any ocean but a multitude of drops?
Travel far enough, you meet yourself.
David Mitchell (born 1969) is an English novelist who is a best-selling author. He also has contributed to television and film as a screenwriter.
Walking Closely
From Luke 24:13-15: “Now on that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, and talking with each other about all these things that had happened. While they were talking and discussing, Jesus Himself came near and went with them.”
On life’s Emmaus Road
Walking closely with thee
Grace of Jesus bestowed
Calvary’s path sets us free
Wilderness gathers near
Walking down evil’s road
Christ’s love making it clear
Sinful darkness now implodes
Life’s burdens weighing down
Walking with Christ, our Lord
Mercy begins countdown
Redemption coming on board
Heaven’s kingdom awaits
Walking each faithful path
Salvation opens gate
Jesus bridges judgement’s wrath
From Philippians 3:20: “But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.”
George Whitefield Quote
Press forward. Do not stop, do not linger in your journey, but strive for the mark set before you.
From Philippians 3:13-14: “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider that I have laid hold of it, but one thing I have laid hold of: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal, toward the prize of the heavenly call of God in Christ Jesus.”
George Whitefield (1714-1770) was an English-born pastor and Christian evangelist. He spent the second half of his life in the American colonies.

Chuck Yeager Quotes
You do what you can for as long as you can, and when you finally can’t, you do the next best thing.
Unfortunately, many people do not consider fun an important item on their daily agenda.
Chuck Yeager (1923-2020) was a United States Air Force aviator. He rose to a rank of Brigadier General, but he had preciously been well recognized for his flying exploits. Besides being a flying ace, he became the first pilot to exceed the speed of sound on a level flight in 1947.
Final Quest
From Colossians 1:19-20: “For in Him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through Him God was pleased to reconcile to Himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of His cross.”
Haunting scene, filled with greed
Darkness shadows with fear
Every path now seems blocked
Cross waiting to appear
Journey of life backs up
Selfishness cuts in front
Noise in streets never dims
Cross waiting to confront
Sorrows keep piling up
Every heart feeling stress
Shattered hope, faith absent
Cross waiting to address
Life refreshed, poured from grace
Compassion fills His heart
Savior’s body and blood
Cross ready to impart
Mountains of sin paid for
Mercy now comes to rest
Blessing of Father’s love
Cross completes final quest
From 1 Corinthians 1:18: “For the message about the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
Fascinating Journey
Opening doors welcome each child
Fascinating journey begins
Dreams fill with imagination
School days become future’s lynchpin
Strengthening character daily
Teaching life lessons, step-by-step
Entire village backs up each child
Honesty leads every footstep
Molding citizenship’s actions
Interacting with nation’s past
History’s events come alive
Participation built to last
Learning importance of service
Applying every faithful task
Life’s foundation now taking shape
Hands no longer afraid to ask
Displaying acts of leadership
Maturing into country’s best
Actions go far beyond just words
Ready now, to pass every test
Daily Reflections
Captured segments from the early pages of my journal, provide the energy for this poem. Life’s reflections can come from anywhere, deal with any topic, and occur at any time.
Journal’s reflections speak out
Expressions ready to sprout
True, unconditional love
Hearing praise singing high above
Wise teaching comes from many
Grandparents offer plenty
Life’s happiness embraces
From unexpected places
Art expressed in many ways
Imagination ablaze
Dark, stormy clouds chased away
Rainbow arrives, set to play
Negativity removed
Positivity approved
Passion no longer alive
How will our tomorrow thrive?
Parents watching with delight
Children making day so bright
Finally, returning home
Prized memories always roam
Spirit Awakened
Life’s faithful river
Always flowing free

Light covers darkness
Faithful source of hope
Spirit awakened
Jesus tames each slope
Quiet place welcomes
