Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing, that we see

too late the one that is open -- Alexander Graham Bell Most of the time, we fall in love but can’t remain there. The world then calls the state we were in a delusion or infatuation...

It is easy to sit up and take notice. What is difficult is getting up and

taking action -- Al Batt Gold and silver are put into fire to make them pure. But the Lord is the One who makes peoples' hearts pure. An evil person listens to the evil things other people say.
