“GREAT HEARTS CAN ONLY BE MADE BY GREAT TROUBLES.”

C. H. Spurgeon

Posted my first tweet just now. Took me some time to reduce what I had to say to 140 characters. And I don’t think that I am a man of many words!

I was really interested in how the Summer Reading Programme of the Waitakere Libraries in Auckland was advertised. (New Lynn)

It said:

DIVE INTO BOOKS

Waitakere Libraries

Summer Reading Programme 2009-2010

I am all for diving into books. Yes, I am! I love books! But most of all I am for diving into the Bible, the Word of the Living God!

“I have swept away your offences like a cloud, your sins like the morning mist. Return to me, for I have redeemed you.”

Isaiah 44:22

1. Where is the biggest Loser the Winner?

2. What is the best way to destroy an Enemy?

Matthew 7:6

“Do not give dogs what is sacred;

do not throw your pearls to pigs.

 If you do,

 they may trample them under their feet,

and then turn and tear you to pieces.”

I read that there is  tombstone with the following writing on it:

“As you are now, so once was I.

As I am now, you are sure to be.

So may I say , as now I lie,

Prepare yourself, to follow me.”

Underneath was written with chalk:

“To follow you I ‘m not content,

Until I know which way you went.”

Matthew 4:19
