“Ah, my brother, it is a far harder thing, and it is afar higher proof of a thorough-going, persistent, Christian principle woven into the very texture of my soul, to go on plodding and patient, never taken by surprise by any small temptation, than to gather into myself the strength which God has given me, and, expecting some great storm to come down upon me, to stand fast, and let it rage. It is a great deal easier to die once for Christ than to live always for Him.” SoulChristianDiesGivenChristDealsPrinciplesTakenBrotherGoes OnHigherEasierHarderSurprisePatientStormProofRageTemptationMy SoulMy BrotherExpectingPersistentTextureWovenThoroughAfar Author:Alexander MacLaren

So I would constantly - and I think nowadays it's taken for granted that this is what girlfriends do - I would constantly wear their shorts, put on their shirts.

It wasn't as if pretty little girlie things were available to me.” IfsThinkingLittlesSeemsWantedPoorTakenBrotherAvailableGrantedOddShirtsGirlfriendMy BrotherShortsTaken For Granted Author:Shirley Geok-lin Lim

“I heard that senior officials in China and the United States were discussing whether to encourage a coup in North Korea to get a more pliable ruler. So I've taken steps to ensure that this can't happen. The man in our government closest to the Chinese, who could have arranged such a coup attempt, was my uncle.
