“We pray for blessings, we pray for peace, comfort for family, protection while we sleep, we pray for healing, for prosperity, we pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering.

“Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by the sense of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion.” -Prince Machiavelli Happy […]

“I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed against the earth’s sweet flowing breast; a tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray; a tree that may in Summer wear a nest of robins in her hair; […]

“I want to see your face in every kind of light in fields of dawn and forests of the night; and when you stand before the candles on a cake; oh, let me be the one to hear the silent wish you make. What are you doing the rest of your life? North, south, east, […]

“It’s the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting…Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams master the lessons we have learned […]

“The Riders’ dangerous passage through the bus terminals and jails of the Jim Crow South represented only one part of an extended journey for justice that stretched back to the dawn of American history and beyond. But once that passage was completed, there was renewed hope that the nation would eventually find its way to […]

“Any time women come together with a collective intention, it’s a powerful thing. Whether it’s sitting down making a quilt, in a kitchen preparing a meal, in a club reading the same book, or around the table playing cards, or planning a birthday party, when women come together with a collective intention, magic happens.” –Phylicia […]

“May the work I’ve done speak for me… The works I’ve done, sometimes it seems so small, it seems like I’ve done nothing at all. But when I stand before God’s throne and hear Him say well done then I know the works I’ve done spoke for me.” -The Consolers “Let no man write my […]

“A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand.

The tackier the […]
