The enjoyment of God

“The enjoyment of [God] is the only happiness with which our souls can be satisfied. To go to heaven, fully to enjoy God, is infinitely better than the most pleasant accommodations here. Fathers and mothers, husbands, wives, or children, or the company of earthly friends, are but shadows; but God is the substance. These are but scattered beams, but God is the sun. These are but streams. But God is the ocean.” — Jonathan Edwards

The Quotable: G.K. Chesterton

Some thoughts for your day… I like the first couple the best.

“Pessimism is not in being tired of evil but in being tired of good. Despair does not lie in being weary of suffering, but in being weary of joy.”

“I believe in getting into hot water; it keeps you clean.”

“I owe my success to having listened respectfully to the very best advice, and then going away and doing the exact opposite.”

“It is not bigotry to be certain we are right; but it is bigotry to be unable to imagine how we might possibly have gone wrong.”

“You can only find truth with logic if you have already found truth without it.”

–G.K. Chesterton

Mild Football Fever

I gotta admit I am getting mild football fever already. I am getting excited for football season again. Every year I hope the Bengals do better… and every year I am rather disappointed… although 2005 was a good year… a refreshing year.¬†

I am looking forward to watching Carson Palmer throw some touchdowns this year. Hopefully everyone is healthy and ready to roll. The suspense kinda builds as you see the craziness of free agency and all of the team moves in the offseason and then the NFL draft comes in April and then training camp and then BOOM… you’re tackling, jukin, jivin, and knockin people’s blocks off.
