The Thought of GOD and Nothing Short of It is the Happiness of Man

Blessed John Henry Newman

"What is novel and sudden excites, but does not influence;

what is pleasurable or useful raises no awe;

self moves no reverence,

and mere knowledge kindles no love.

HE alone is sufficient for the heart who made it."

Blessed John Henry Newman

The "Think About It" on this page is:

"There is no lasting satisfaction except for God.
All joys are fleeting without God."

Note to Those Who Leave Comments

I don't expect everyone to love or like what I write or post, however, if anyone leaves a mean or cruel comment, attacking an individual, or the Church, I will permanently delete it.

If your name is there so I can contact you, I will, but if you are a Hit-and-Run comment dropper, without leaving a full name, then I cannot contact you.

If you want to write cruel and unkind comments, or posts, you may start your own blog.

(this is much later - 2012 and I just read this - I surely sounded bossy! but guess what ???? it worked. No one has left an unkind comment. Thank you all for that! I do appreciate it.)
