* There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, 'Thy will be done,' and those to whom God says, 'All right, then, have it your way.' C. S. Lewis
* Wow! What a question? Maybe the better question is "Which Kind Do You Want to Be? It is up to each of us to decide every moment of each day. Choose well. Grace and Peace. Steve

* Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point. C. S. Lewis
* So what is a virtue? A quick google search gave me a list of 52 virtues and Wikipedia listed 7 . My google search defined virtue as "behavior showing high moral standards. Synonyms: goodness, righteousness, morality, integrity, dignity, honor, decency, respectability, purity, principles, and ethics" to name a portion of the list. What a list to live into. I appreciate what C.S. Lewis has done. He has made it simple to remember that when testing time comes live out Courage. I do not know that I will always remember to do a list of 7 and certainly not a list of 52 virtues. However, I know I can choose courage. I know it will not be easy, real tests never are easy. I also know Joshua 1:9 tells us "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” We can all choose courage; however, the question is will we? Grace and Peace. Steve |
