Quote for Today

"Surely the shortest commencement addresses -  in history and for me one of the most  memorable - was that of Dr. Harold E. Hyde, president of New Hampshire Plymouth State College. He reduced his message to the graduating class to these three ideals: 'Know yourself - Socrates. Control yourself. Cicero. Give yourself Christ.'"

GETTING THERE

 

Faster, sleeker, quieter,

like a car or a horse.

It takes away the worry

about cost or look – just

the need to get there

and back – without being

noticed – that’s how I’d

like my sermon to be.

You’re not hearing me

or my words - you’re just

getting the message – the

content not the speaker –

the word that takes flesh

and plans to stay within you.

At least that's  my hope and

that's my prayer.
