When We Want To Be Something Other

Like A Good Chess Player, Satan Is Always Trying To Maneuver You Into A Position Where You Can Save Your Castle Only By Losing Your Bishop.

If We Let Ourselves, We Shall Always Be Waiting For Some Distraction Or Other To End Before We Can Really Get Down To Our Work.

For Most Of Us The Prayer In Gethsemane Is The Only Model. Removing Mountains Can Wait.

The Only Things We Can Keep Are The Things We Freely Give To God. What We Try To Keep For Ourselves Is Just What We Are Sure To Lose.

Because We Love Something Else More Than This World, We Love Even This World More Than Those Who Know No Other.
