[Faith-talk] Quotes for Sunday, November 6, 2016

[Paul Smith]

Well folks, as this message is being written it's the first Sunday in 
November, and I trust all is well with all of you, both individually 
and collectively.  It's all right with me here in northeast Baltimore.

Here are today's two quotes for you in this Lord's Day.

Small deeds done are better than greater deeds planned.  Peter Marshall 
(quote compiler's queery:  Would this quote have been written by Peter 
Marshall Jr., the son of a late U.S. Senate chaplain, also with the 
same name? It doesn't matter one way or another; it's still a good 
quote in my opinion).

My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners unless there are 
three other people.  Olson Welles (quote compiler's comment:  Is Mr. 
Welles saying in so many words that one should not have "intimate 
dinners" alone? Just a thought).

And there, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, children of our 
heavenly King-Father and saints of the Most High God, are your quotes 
for today.  Before I close as I do on occasion on this day, I hope 
that, if you read this message before you go to your respective houses 
of worship, that you and your fellow congregants will get a good word 
from the Lord as imparted to you by your pastors and/or Sunday school 
teachers and, with that word firmly implanted in your hearts, minds and 
souls, you will apply the same to your individual lives as the gracious 
Holy Spirit enables.  Ditto for you if you've already been there.

Don't forget that, later today in this space will be the weekly Bible 
trivia game poem, so get your biblical thinking caps ready.  I have 
mine with Philemon 2 written on it.  Otherwise wait till tomorrow when 
more quotes and news tidbits will be posted.  Until either time I am 
your obedient servant of the One who lived an earthly existence, died 
to pay for your sins and mine, and now lives forever to bring us His 
salvation and peace, Oil of Gladness.
