“WENN DIE HOFFNUNG ERWACHT, LEGT SICH DIE VERZWEIFLUNG SCHLAFEN.” — UNBEKANNT

I am looking at a calendar from Paper Plus Kaitaia and I am reading, “Paper Plus–My books. My stationery. My store.” (I wish, it would be my store; but it is not as you well know.)

Every morning I am reading from CH Spurgeon “Morning and Evening” and today (21. 04. 08) the reading is from Job 19:25. Spurgeon starts with “The marrow of Job’s comfort lies in the little word “MY” – “My Redeemer,” and in the fact that the Redeemer lives.

And of course I do not really want to say, “My store.” But I am glad that I can say, “My Redeemer.” – MY REDEEMER LIVES!”

CAN YOU SAY THAT?

When I get a little money, I buy books. And if there is any left over, I buy food.

— Desiderius Erasmus

Matthew 4:4 JESUS ANSWERED,  “IT IS WRITTEN: ‘MAN DOES NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE, BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT COMES FROM THE MOUTH OF GOD.'”

Deuteronomy 8:3

Let me name a few:

— C. Marshall SOMETHING MORE

— D. Richardson PEACE CHILD

— G. Dempster FINDING MEN FOR CHRIST

— B. Graham UNTO THE HILLS
