Here are some things that have been happening that I don't feel I need to go into detail on.
"Have faith in God." — Mark 11:2
"Little faith will save a man, but little faith cannot do great things for God. Poor Little-faith could not have fought "Apollyon;" it needed "Christian" to do that. Poor Little-faith could not have slain "Giant Despair;" it required "Great-heart's" arm to knock that monster down. Little faith will go to heaven most certainly, but it often has to hide itself in a nut-shell, and it frequently loses all but its jewels. Little-faith says, "It is a rough road, beset with sharp thorns, and full of dangers; I am afraid to go;" but Great-faith remembers the promise, "Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; as thy days, so shall thy strength be:" and so she boldly ventures. Little-faith stands desponding, mingling her tears with the flood; but Great-faith sings, "When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee:" and she fords the stream at once."
— C.H. Spurgeon

- I've been listening to a lot of Chinese music. It rocks. Check out yobo.com if you want to fumble through some.
- I've learned that if you want to really memorize scripture memorize it in another language and you will never forget it in English. わたしはただしいひとをまねくためではなくつみひとをまねくためにきたのです。Tha
t was last weeks from Luke 2:17. My Chinese verse is on the top of the page from Luke 1:37. - My heart is deceitfully wicked beyond all belief.
