In my dreams.

Bible verse of the day:

"You were dead because of your sins and because your sinful nature was not yet cut away. Then God made you alive with Christ, for he forgave all our sins. He canceled the record of the charges against us and took it away by nailing it to the cross. In this way, he disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross." - Colossians 2:13-15

Poem of the day:

The Holy Attitude

Patience won't happen overnight...
Not when I think I need it;
Not when I feel I can't wait.

Patience is elusive...
Thoughts of it haunt me
When I'm weak with haste.

Patience is not a method;
Reliance on God is the method.

Patience is not a goal;
God's Will is the goal.

Patience is an attitude, a holy attitude,
Developed from a lifetime of
Restless anticipation.
