“I think most of us want to go to heaven though not necessarily right now. But we all need to get ready for the trip – and Anthony DeStefano’s book is like a Fodor’s Guide for just that purpose. It is a wonderful road map for people who want to be happy in this life, and at the same time prepare for ultimate happiness in the life to come. ” – (Mike Huckabee – Former Governor of Arkansas)
“Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” (Hebrews 12:1-2; The Apostle Paul)
“In the winter she curls up around a good book and dreams away the cold.” – (Ben Aaronovitch)
Trees (BY JOYCE KILMER)
I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
“Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.”
― Jim Bishop
