“Grant, O Lord my God,
that I may never fall away in success or in failure;
that I may not be prideful in prosperity
nor dejected in adversity.
Let me rejoice in only what unites us
and sorrow only in what separates us.
May I strive to please no one
or fear to displease anyone except yourself.
May I seek always the things that are eternal
and never those that are only temporal.
May I shun any joy that is without You
and never seek any that is beside You.
O Lord, may I delight in any work I do for You
and tire of any rest that is apart from You.
My God, let me direct my heart towards You,
and in my failings,
always repent with a purpose of amendment.
”

““If you are a nice person - if virtue comes easily to you - beware…The Devil was an archangel once; his natural gifts were as far above yours as yours are above those of a chimpanzee.”
Oh, Snap! Any gift I have is not mine. I didn’t create them. They are God’s, and his alone to be glorified.

— C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity.
Coldplay’s new album is so refreshing and easy to listen to. At the end, I just want to hear it all over again.
The song posted is my favorite from it. Check it out!
Coldplay - “Charlie Brown”
I can’t stop listening to this song. Hits me all day long.
David Ford - ”I Don’t Care What You Call Me.”
Little girl sleeping so funny at In-N-Out. Had to get a picture.
