Looking -

It would be well for all wrong-doers to remember a remark once made by
a little boy to his father who was contemplating a theft of potatoes
from a field. The father looked east, west, north and south, and seeing
no one, began pulling up the roots. "Father," said the boy, "there's
one way you forgot to look!" "Where?" asked the alarmed man. "Up!" said
the boy. [Adapted from Think On These Things, Volume 30, Number 3, page 1]

Some Things I Have Learned -

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is
be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

I've learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don't
care back.

I've learned that it takes years to build up trust, but only seconds
to destroy it.

I've learned that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always
two sides.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one!

I've learned that we don't have to change friends, if we understand
that friends change.

I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.

Him, and to imitate him, as we may the nearest, by possessing our souls
of true virtue."                             - Milton


"He is a freeman whom the truth makes free, and all are slaves besides."
                                              - William Cowper

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt
believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness;
and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9,10

-- Phil Kraft and family have asked to be identified with the saints at
   Barberton. Phil, Kim and family have been worshipping with us for a
   long time. Nothing had ever been publicly stated and Phil kindly
   decided to remedy that situation. [JW]
