If America is to remain what God,
In His wisdom, intended for it to be…
A refuge, a safe haven for those
Seeking human rights…
Then we must once again extend the
Most basic human right to the most
Vulnerable members of the
Human family…
We must commit ourselves to a
Future in which the right to life
Of every human being…
No matter how weak,
No matter how small,
No matter how defenseless…
Is protected by our laws and
Public policy.
- Ronald Wilson Reagan
What I Call Living…
The miser thinks he's living
When he's hoarding up his gold;
The soldier calls it living
When he's doing something bold;
The sailor thinks it living
To be tossed upon the sea,
And upon this vital subject
No two of us agree.
But I hold to the opinion,
As I walk my way along,
That living's made of laughter
And good-fellowship and song.
I wouldn't call it living always
To be seeking gold,
To bank all the present gladness
For the days when I'll be old.
I wouldn't call it living to spend
All my strength for fame,
And forego the many pleasures
Which to-day is mine to claim.
I wouldn't for the splendor of the
World set out to roam,
And forsake my laughing children
And the peace I know at home.
Oh, the thing that I call living
Isn’t gold or fame at all!
Its good-fellowship and sunshine,
And it's roses by the wall;
its evenings glad with music and
A hearth fire that's ablaze,
And the joys which come to mortals
In a thousand different ways.
It is laughter and contentment
And the struggle for a goal;
It is everything that's needful
In the shaping of a soul.
- Edgar Albert Guest
Our Greatest Need…
If our greatest need had
been information,
God would have sent us
an educator.
If our greatest need had
been technology,
God would have sent us
a scientist.
If our greatest need had
been money,
God would have sent us
an economist.
If our greatest need had
been pleasure,
God would have sent us
an entertainer.
But our greatest need
as forgiveness,
So God sent us a Savior.
- Charles Sell
What a Savior…
Once I was straying
in sin’s dark valley,
No hope within could
I see;
They searched thro’
Heaven
and found a Savior
To save a poor lost
soul like me.
O what a Savior,
O hallelujah,
His heart was
broken on Calvary;
His hands were
nail-scarred,
His side was riven,
He gave His
lifeblood for
even me.
- Marvin P. Dalton
