Sow much, reap much;
Sow little, reap little.

“A man who has friends
must himself be friendly,
But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”
Proverbs 18:24
Friendship’s Road…
Friendship is a chain of gold
Shaped in God’s all perfect mold.
Each link a smile, a laugh, a tear,
A grip of the hand, a word of cheer.
Steadfast as the ages roll
Binding closer soul to soul;
No matter how far or heavy the load
Sweet is the journey on friendship’s road.
Jesus is a friend for life,
Guiding through all toil and strife;
No matter how far or heavy the load,
Sweet is the journey on friendship’s road.
- Monroe Crossing
The only way to
Have a friend is
To be one.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson
The most I can do for

Be his friend.

Friendship is a reminder that
We are not alone on our journey.

“The right hand of the Lord is
Exalted;
The right hand of the Lord
Does valiantly.”
Psalm 118:16
Defeat may test you…
It need not stop you.
If at first you don't succeed,
Try another way.
For every obstacle there is a
Solution.
Nothing in the world can take
The place of persistence.
The greatest mistake is giving
Up.

Press on…
Obstacles are seldom the
Same size tomorrow as
They are today.

It is neither wealth nor splendor…
But tranquility and occupation
Which give happiness.

I remember my mother's prayers
And they have always
followed me.
They have clung to me all my life.
- Abraham Lincoln
A mother is the truest
friend we have,
when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us;
when adversity takes the place of prosperity;
when friends who rejoice with us in our
Sunshine desert us;
when trouble thickens around us,
Still will she cling to us,
and endeavor by her kind precepts and
Counsels to dissipate the
clouds of darkness,
and cause peace to return to our hearts.
- Washington Irving
Mothers hold their children's hands
For a short while,
but their hearts forever.

Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
Upon life’s boundless ocean
Where mighty billows roll,
I’ve fixed my hope in Jesus,
Blest anchor of my soul;
When trials fierce assail me
As storms are gathering o’er,
I rest upon His mercy
And trust Him more.
He keeps my soul from evil
And gives me blessed peace,
His voice hath stilled the waters
And bid their tumult cease;
My pilot and Deliverer,
To Him I all confide,
For always when I need Him,
He’s at my side.
He is my friend and Savior,
In Him my anchor’s cast,
He drives away my sorrows
And shields me from the blast;
By faith I’m looking upward
Beyond life’s troubled sea,
There I behold a haven
Prepared for me.
Refrain
I’ve anchored in Jesus,
The storms of life I’ll brave,
I’ve anchored in Jesus,
I fear no wind or wave.
I’ve anchored in Jesus,
For He hath power to save,
I’ve anchored to the Rock of Ages.
- Words & Music Lewis E. Jones

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 was forgiveness,
So God sent us a Savior.

Addictive illusion that it can almost
Be understood.

The first and last duty of the lover
Of the game of baseball,
Whether in the stands or on the field,
Is the same as that of the lover of life itself…
To pay attention to it.

As all but fools and shortstops will freely
Acknowledge, this solemn requirement is
Doubled.
