Quakers believe that the Spirit of God is present within every person. Each person has, therefore, a fragment of God’s wisdom which should be listened to and respected. The fullness of the Spirit’s guidance is discerned when everyone’s wisdom blends together. — Frank Rogers Jr.

It is no good trying to “be myself” without [Christ]. The more I resist Him and try to live on my own, the more I become dominated by my own heredity and upbringing and surroundings and natural desires. —C.S. Lewis
Meditation Monday
Monday, May 12th, 2008after you had gone,
after all
the words were said that bound
our lives together for the space
of understanding,
I found
my room a larger place.
the wall
windowed to a view
upon another’s need, and all
the silence filled with sound
of others’ living, the new
(read-me, read-me) books seemed old
as yesterday, and my door somehow
would not tightly close.
so cataclysmic just your word?
how should it be
my friend, if every day
i listened with the heart
to what until you came
i merely overheard?
Mary Catherine Vukmanic
Inspiring Quote
Monday, May 5th, 2008“Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death.
Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream
that is destined to fail without Divine intervention. Stop pointing
out problems and become part of the solution. Stop criticizing and
start creating. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand
your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every
excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Don’t let what’s wrong
with you keep you from worshiping what’s right with God. Burn sinful
bridges. Blaze new trails. Keep making mistakes. Worry less about what
people think and more about what God thinks. Don’t try to be who
you’re not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit
holding back. Quit running away. And remember: If God is for us, who
can be against us.”
