“Who would have believed that the daughters of that mighty city would one day be wandering as servants and slaves on the shores of Egypt and Africa, or that Bethlehem would daily receive noble Romans, distinguished ladies, brought up in wealth and now reduced to beggary? I cannot help them all, but I grieve and weep with them, and am completely absorbed in the duties which charity imposes on me. I have put aside my commentary on Ezekiel and almost all study. For today we must translate the precepts of the Scriptures into deeds; instead of speaking saintly words, we must act them.” HelpingTodayWealthCitiesStudyDutyOne DayDaughterSlaveCharityDeedsNobleScriptureWanderServantGrievingShoreTranslateEgyptDistinguishedCommentaryBethlehemBeggaryEzekiel Author:St. Jerome
“There yet remains but one concluding tale, And then this chronicle of mine is ended - Fulfilled, the duty God ordained to me, A sinner. Not without purpose did the Lord, Put me to witness much for many years, And educate me in the love of books. One day some indefatigable monk, Will find my conscientious, unsigned work; Like me, he will light up his ikon-lamp, And, shaking from the scroll the age-old dust, He will transcribe these tales in all their truth.” YearsBookLightAgePurposeLordMinesDutyOne DayRemainsTalesLike MeDustWitnessSinnerEducateFulfilledLampsMonkShakingLight UpChroniclesConcluding Author:Alexander Pushkin

“I started as a drummer, so I sort of took on singing duties by default. I had sung backgrounds and some lead vocals from behind the drums in different bands that I'd been in, and I'd gotten great responses for the songs I would sing. I really started pursuing the possibility of being a lead singer based on the fact that I was working a full-time restaurant job and then playing gigs at night, hauling drums around. One day, it just dawned on me that, 'Hey, I could be in a band and be the singer, and it would be a lot easier!'” DifferentFactsWould BeJobsNightSongBehindsPossibilityDutyEasierOne DayBandSingingResponseSingersBackgroundsHeyRestaurantsVocalGigsDrummerDefault Author:Chris Cornell
