D-Day Musings June 6, 2008
Posted by carpebanana in : Ramblings , trackbackDanger seems to be my theme of the day. Here is Churchill’s inspiration:
“we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.”
(apply this to fractions/decimals/percentages, the current war raging here)
“Never give in, never give in, never; never; never; never…”
(this is more about planning the coming school year)
“Danger - if you meet it promptly and without flinching - you will reduct the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!”
and here we find that the folks at Engrish.com had a timely reminder:
I know that one of the temptations I deal with is wanting to be too safe, and in particular, wanting my children to be too safe. I am reminded of Daniel’s faithfulness and Stonewall Jackson’s
Captain, my religious belief teaches me to feel as safe in battle as in bed. God has fixed the time for my death. I do not concern myself about that, but to be always ready, no matter when it may overtake me.” He added, after a pause, looking me full in the face: “That is the way all men should live, and then all would be equally brave“
Ending with this from Sinclair Ferguson:
The fear of the Lord tends to take away all other fears. …This is the secret of Christian courage and boldness.
