Monday Quote

Scripture Study

Isaiah 53:6-7

All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one t his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

Alas, cheeky, meaning impudent or presumptuous, doesn't appear until 1859. Online Etymology also informed me that it was "the nickname of a misbehaving boy in a story," in 1850.

God bless all those who've served, be they soldiers, marines, airmen, sailors, national guard, or coast guard.

Scripture Study

Isaiah 53:4-5

Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

Monday Quote

"In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there's something stronger - something better, pushing right back."
~ Albert Camus

Scripture Study

Isaiah 53:2-3

For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

I allow myself to become upset over things I can't control far too often. Coach Mullen, over at My Good Time Stories, offered a great perspective:
