".. the beautiful gate.."

"And a man who had been lame from his mother’s womb was being carried along, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful,
in order to beg alms of those who were entering the temple.When he saw Peter and John about to go into the temple, he began asking to receive alms. 
But Peter, along with John, fixed his gaze on him and said, “Look at us!”
 And he began to give them his attention,
 expecting to receive something from them. 
But Peter said, “I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you:
 In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene—walk!”
Acts: 3:2-6 (VOICE)

"I can see for miles and generations..."

Guadalupe Peak, TX
"I can see for miles and generations!"

"Look on distant rocks and wonder at their oldness, for from their summits 
a thousand ages look down upon us.
 When this gigantic city was as yet unfounded they were grey with age; 
    "My rock!" What a history
 the rock might give you of the storms
 to which it has been exposed;
 of the tempests which have raged in the ocean 
at its base, and of the thunders which have disturbed the skies above its head; while it, itself, has stood ..


    The rock is immutable, nought hath been worn from it. Yon old granite peak hath gleamed in the sun, or worn the white veil of winter snow..."

"Yes, he alone is my Rock, my rescuer, defense and fortress. Why then should I be tense with fear when troubles come? ....My protection and success come from God alone. He is my refuge,
 a Rock 
where no enemy can reach me."
Psalm 62:2,7 (TLB)

"He’s solid rock
 under my feet breathing room for my soul,My help and glory are in God 
—granite-strength and safe-harbor-God—
 So trust him absolutely, people;
 lay your lives on the line for him.
 God is a safe place to be.
Psalm 62:2,7-8 (Message)

"I won't let the Rocks cry out for me."
 You delight to show mercy!
Mercy triumphs over all!

"cherish it...that so rare a flower is common.”

“No poet has yet sung the full beauty of our poppy. No painter has successfully portrayed the satiny sheen of its lustrous petals. 
In its abundance, this colorful plant
 should not be slighted:
 cherish it and be ever thankful
 that so rare a flower is common.” 
-John Thomas Howell

"And the common people heard Him gladly."
 Mark 12:37 (NKJV)
