“Woe to those who get what they desire. Fulfillment leaves an empty space where your old self used to be, the self that pines and broods and reflects. You furnish a dream house in your imagination, but how startling and final when that dream house is your own address. What is left to you? Surrounded by what you wanted, you feel a sense of amputation. The feelings you were used to abiding with are useless. The conditions you established for your happiness are met. That youthful light-headed feeling whose sharp side is much like hunger is of no more use to you.” FeelsSelfUseFeelingsDreamLightWantedSuccessUsedDesireHouseLeftSidesImaginationSpaceConditionsMetsEmptyFinalsHungerUsed To BeUselessFulfillmentAddressesWoeAbidingEmpty SpaceOld SelfAmputationDream House Author:Laurie Colwin

I will even go further than that, and say that I have usually found a clearer knowledge of the gospel and a warmer love of Christ in the child-converts than in the man-converts. I will even astonish you still more by saying that I have sometimes met with a deeper spiritual experience in children of ten and twelve than I have in certain persons of fifty and sixty.” MenChildrenPersonsStillsSometimesSpiritualCertainFoundChristChurchConditionsMetsTenAdultsDeeperFiftySpiritual LifeTwelveSixtySpiritual Experience Author:Charles Spurgeon

“I have changed the focus of the work of my Commission so that we no longer concern ourselves with trivial details and concentrate on the key issues instead.
