"I find that I want there to be someone tangible in whom I can place my hope without fear of being let down. I elevate man to a place he cannot occupy, a place of perfection. I do not want to settle for what Millar calls “extraordinary men acting very ordinarily.” I want someone extraordinary to rise above acting ordinarily because it is something I am unable to do myself. I admire that which I cannot do." ~Brian Whalen
"Pray God to send a few more men with what the Americans call "grit" in them; men, who when they know a thing to be right, will not turn away, or turn aside, or stop; men who will persevere all the more because there are difficulties to meet or foes to encounter; who, stand all the more true to their master because they are oppressed; who, the more they are thrust into the fire, the hotter they become, who just like the bow, the further the string is drawn, the more powerfully it sends forth arrows, and so the more they are trodden upon, the more mighty they become in the cause of truth against error." -C. Spurgeon

I collected these two quotes years ago and posted them on my Facebook quotes page. Months later, when FB began changing their format, I safely airlifted them to my "notes" pages. Fast forwarding to now, it has become necessary to warehouse them elsewhere. as FB continues to tweak their services.
You see, I've had an epiphany. I've come to realize that when a woman marries, she ultimately wants her man to be like Jesus: providing everything she needs, being constantly available to listen, being a servant heart and compassionate leader, and ultimately laying down his life for her--even unto death.
The reality IS, these human desires can only be met by the LORD! ♥
