Rev J A Van Gorkom, Moody Bible Institute faculty member in Chicago, presents guidance on navigating life’s unexpected paths and divine purposes in this reflective discourse.
A reflective piece on divine guidance through detours. It argues that God charts roundabout paths to test faith and deepen character, citing Exodus and spiritual stewardship. The author contrasts human shortcuts with God’s patient, protective steering, praising divine love and mercy.
Thoughtful reflection on escape and integrity from Philips Brooks. It argues that choosing the right door matters more than escaping itself and that some troubles are best faced rather than escaped with the wrong aid. It emphasizes moral discernment over hasty retreat.
A brief reflection on prayer urging personal sincerity to align with belief. The quote attributes weight to actions behind prayers and invites readers to examine their faith in daily life.
The Boston Post reports Elizabeth Gray died in Edinburgh seventy one years ago in her hundred eighth year, authenticated as the first modern centenarian. Investigators found no doubt about her age, and she was part of Scotland’s upper society. The piece notes many current claimants to centenarian honors are suspected of deception or error and that many historic longevity cases are discredited.
An old belief suggests moistening a finger with saliva and rubbing a ringworm in a sunwise direction to cure it. The idea ties to sun worship and the sacred nature of saliva, with echoes from classical writers like Pliny and ritual circuits once thought to reflect ancient ceremonies.
Mesquite trees share scarce moisture while giant cacti tower up to fifty feet, with ghost like arms reaching in many directions. Cholla cacti lure cattle with succulent centers despite terrible thorns, though a single match can burn away the barricade to reveal green fodder.
The common nest shape is basket like used by crows and mussel thrushes while bullfinch is a felt worker. Wrens wagtails robins and others add a roof and side door for entry. The titmouse nest is notably bottle shaped.
A weary salesman and a woman seek the perfect gift for a birthday surprise. She explains tomorrow is her husband’s birthday and hopes for a fitting present. In a sharp reply, the clerk mockingly suggests she hide behind an armchair and shout Boo at him.
Poem fragment envisions a ideal world where all are wise sweet jolly and kind. It laments labor and evil deeds while praising neighborly love and joy, with a hopeful view for all readers.
The piece suggests cooling treats for warm weather including honey dew and cantaloupe topped with sherbet, a lemon ice recipe yielding a quart, a dressy Thousand Island lettuce salad, and figaro figs with marshmallow and nuts. It notes simple prep with a small freezer and aims to delight family and guests.
