There is a guide that never falters,
And when He leads I cannot stray,
For step by step He goes before me,
And marks my path, He knows the way.

 

Oft-times the path grows dim and dreary,
The darkness hides the cheering ray,
Still I will trust, tho’ worn and weary,
My Saviour leads, He knows the way.

He knows the evils that surround me,
The turnings that would lead astray,
No foes of night can ere confound me,
For Jesus leads, He knows the way.

To Fool People

It’s easier to fool people than to convince them they’ve been fooled.

Mark Twain (1835-1910)


Banality/Evil

 “The more superficial someone is,

the more likely he will be to yield to evil.

That is the Banality of Evil.”

– Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)


Convinced/Dedicated

The ideal subject of totalitarian rule
is not the convinced Nazi or
the dedicated communist,
but people for whom the distinction
between fact and fiction,
true and false, no longer exists.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975)


Hidden Hand

Governments do not govern, but merely control the machinery of government,
being themselves controlled by the hidden hand.
Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

Behind the Scenes

The world is governed by very different personages
from what is imagined by those who are not
behind the scenes.

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

 


Don’t Shoot Butterflies

Don’t make tragedies of trifles,

don’t shoot butterflies with rifles-

The Prince of Peace

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called Wonderful Counselor,
Mighty God,  Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6

 

 


The Manger

 

 

 

While they were there, the time came
for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.
She wrapped him in strips of cloth and placed
him in a manger, because there was no room for
them in the inn.

Luke 2: 6,7


The Magi

 

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea,
during the time of King Herod, Magi from the
east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is
the one who has been born king of the Jews?
We saw his star in the  east and have come
to worship him.”

Matthew 2:1-3
