It’s hard to hate up close.  The more you get to know each other, the more common ground you can find and the more you can disagree without being disagreeable.

If we want the most effective fighting force, we need to pick the most qualified capable man for the job, even if it’s a woman.

Martha McSally (born 1966) is a native of the state of Rhode Island (born in Warwick). She graduates from the United States Air Force Academy in 1988.  Later, she becomes the first American woman to fly combat missions, and she serves in the Air Force for 26 years.

Breath of Life

Season to season

From love’s treasured heart

Every breath of life

Landscape’s fresh restart

 

Nature’s life cycles

Reborn every spring

Yet, autumn mourns loss

Winter’s darkness stings

 

Throughout life’s phases

Hope’s fateful ascent

Never to wither

Love always present

 

Always on schedule

Life’s permanent breath

Winter fades away

Spring overcomes death

 

Eternal love lasts

Cold ground warms again

Life breathes as He planned

Creator’s “amen”

Love is like a good piece of wood:  It just gets stronger and stronger as the years go by.

It’s not the beginning or the destination that counts.  It’s the ride in between.

[Both quotes taken from The Christmas Train.]

David Baldacci (born 1960) is an American novelist.

Many of us come to Jesus with enthusiasm, much like Peter.  We are reminded that our faith journey may feel like a marathon, but the eternal destination is worth it all.

While some of our daily routines have been amended because of life’s circumstances, God’s routines continue as always.  His Word nourishes our faith, and our buttressed outlook opens our eyes to see eternal hope.
