Courage & Confidence

Be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
Psalm 31:24 KJV

He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. Isaiah 40:29-31 NKJV

I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD. Psalm 27:13,14

Return to your rest, O my soul, For the LORD has dealt bountifully with you. For You have rescued my soul from death, My eyes from tears, My feet from stumbling. I shall walk before the LORD In the land of the living. Psalm 116:7-9 NASB

Thanks be unto God for His wonderful gift: Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God is the object of our faith; the only faith that saves is faith in Him.

In 1833, Oberlin College in Ohio opened with an enrollment of 29 men and 15 women, the nation's first truly co-educational college. SAME EDUCATION, STILL NOT EQUAL PAY...HMMMM...

In 1929, the Ford Motor Co. raised the pay of its employees from $5 to $7 a day despite the collapse of the U.S. stock market. I DO NOT THINK THAT WILL HELP MUCH TODAY...PERHAPS DOWNSIZING SALARIES UP TOP WILL SAVE SOME JOBS LOWER DOWN WHERE MUCH OF THE SWEATING IS DONE...

Classic Quotes by Joseph Conrad (1857-1924) English novelist
"A caricature is putting the face of a joke on the body of a truth."

"All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind."
