let us renew our trust in God,
and go forward without fear, and with manly hearts."

--July 4, 1861 Message to Congress

A portion from a radio message by Dr. David Jeremiah
to which I was listening one day last week.
Since I was in the middle of the broadcast and driving down the road,
I don't have exact quotes.
He was talking about people today 'wishing that they lived in a different,
maybe better time' in our world and culture.
"I tire listening to those comments," Jeremiah said.
"God could have dropped you into any time in history.
It could have been during the Renaissance or any other time,
but he chose you to be alive TODAY!
So thank God that you are alive to
'be a light in an ever darkening world'.
TODAY!!

"We act as though comfort and luxury
were the chief requirements in life,
when all we need to make us really happy
is something to be enthusiastic about."
~ Charles Kingsley
