“It is the easiest thing in the world for us to obey God when He commands us to do what we like, and to trust Him when the path is all sunshine. The real victory of faith is to trust God in the dark, and through the dark. Let us be assured of this, that if the lesson and the rod are of His appointing, and that His all-wise love has engineered the deep tunnel of trial on the heavenward road, He will never desert us during the discipline. The vital thing for us is not to deny and desert Him.” IfsWorldRealDarkPathWiseVictoryDisciplineLessonsDenyTrialsCommandDesertSunshineTrust In GodAssuredTunnelsWise LoveReal Victory Author:Theodore L.

“I love using unique names, so I go to a baby names site on the Internet and use the unique names.

“At 10 minutes to seven on a dark, cool evening in Mexico City in 1968, John Stephen Akwari of Tanzania painfully hobbled into the Olympic Stadium-the last man to finish the marathon. The winner had already been crowned, and the victory ceremony was long finished. So the stadium was almost empty and Akwari - alone, his leg bloody and bandaged - struggled to circle the track to the finish line. When asked why he had continued the grueling struggle, the young man from Tanzania answered softly: My country did not send me 9,000 miles to start the race. They sent me 9,000 miles to finish the race.” MenLongCountryLastsYoungLinesDarkRaceCitiesStruggleMinutesVictoryEmptySevenTrackLegsFinishedMilesCirclesEveningWinnerYoung ManMexicoBloodyCeremonyMarathonStadiumsFinish LineMexico CityTanzania Author:Walter Inglis Anderson
“Confuse the enemy. Keep him in the dark on your intentions. Sometimes what seems a victory isn't really a victory and sometimes a defeat isn't really a defeat. Whether in attacking, counterattacking, or defensive tactics, the idea of attacking should remain central, to always keep the initiative.” ShouldIdeasSometimesSeemsDarkEnemyVictoryIntentionDefeatInitiativeTacticsAttacking Author:Vo Nguyen Giap

“He gazed up at the enormous face. Forty years it had taken him to learn what kind of smile was hidden beneath the dark moustache. O cruel, needless misunderstanding!
