“I’m washed, I’m forgiven, I’m whole, and I’m healed. I’m cleansed and I’m glory bound. I am only a sojourner on the earth. I am but a pilgrim on this planet, on my way to perfection, and I don’t need anybody to tell me who I am, because I know who I am. I am a child of the King, a son (or daughter) of God, born again through Jesus Christ, bought with the price of His blood. I am a new creation, totally new, thoroughly loved and completely accepted as a child of my Father, precious in His sight.” KnowsWayNeedsChildrenWholeEarthFatherJesusChristBornBloodCreationPlanetsSonKingsGloryDaughterJesus ChristPerfectionSightBoundsAcceptedWho I AmMy WayForgivenHealedPilgrimBorn AgainDaughter Of GodSojourners Author:Myles Munroe
“O thou who art able to write a Book, which once in the two centuries or oftener there is a man gifted to do, envy not him whom they name City-builder, and inexpressibly pity him whom they name Conqueror or City-burner! Thou too art a Conqueror and Victor; but of the true sort, namely over the Devil: thou too hast built what will outlast all marble and metal, and be a wonder-bringing City of the Mind, a Temple and Seminary and Prophetic Mount, whereto all kindreds of the Earth will pilgrim.” MenWritingMindArtTwoBookAbleEarthNamesCitiesWonderCenturyDevilBuiltEnvyPityAll KindsTemplesMetalsGiftedMarblePilgrimConquerorBuilderPropheticKindredSeminary Book:Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdröckh in Three Books Source: Sartor Resartus: The Life and Opinions of Herr Teufelsdröckh in Three Books
“I read not so long ago about the construction of a large telescope in Chile's Atacama Desert, where rainfall can average a millimetre a year and the air is fifty times as dry as the air in Death Valley. Needless to say, skies over the Atacama are pristine. The pilgrim astronomer ventures to the earth's ravaged reaches in order to peer more keenly at other worlds, and I suppose the novelist is up to something similar.” WorldYearsLongEarthOrderAirSkyAverageDesertNovelistsDryFiftyValleysConstructionLong AgoPeersVentureOther WorldsPilgrimTelescopesAstronomersChilePristineRainfall Author:Brad Leithauser
