A boy was born blind. At last an operation was performed; the light was let in slowly. Then one day his mother led him out of doors and uncovered his eyes, and for the first time he saw the sky and the earth. "Mother," he cried, "why did you not tell me it was so beautiful?" She said, "I tried to tell you, but you could not understand." So it is when we try to tell what is in Christ. Unless the spiritual sight is opened by the Holy Spirit, one cannot understand. |

I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen: not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. Aim at heaven and you will get earth thrown in. Aim at earth and you get neither. C. S. Lewis |

Tommy, 6, says, "Love is like a little old woman and a little old man who are still friends even after they know each other so well." |
