| e1652f7 | A faint movement distracted me as Oria elbow-crawled up to my side. Her profile was outlined by the light from those faraway torches as she looked down on the castle below. "I'm sorry, Oria," I breathed. She did not turn her head. "For what?" "All our plans when we were growing up. All the fine things we'd have had after we won. Making you a duchess--" She grunted softly. "That was no more than dream-weaving. I don't want to be a duchess. N.. | Sherwood Smith | ||

| c5dce74 | When we pray, we bring that power to bear upon everything we are praying about, and we allow the power of God to work through our powerlessness. When we pray, we are humbling ourselves before God and saying, "I need Your presence and Your power, Lord. I can't do this without You." When we don't pray, it's like saying we have no need of anything outside of ourselves." -- | Stormie Omartian | ||
| 659b9b6 | Good soldiers know that if they don't recognize who their enemy is, they are destined to lose the war. That is also true for those of us who battle in God's army. Even though Jesus put the enemy under His feet and won the victory for us, we still must move into that victory. There are still battles to be fought in prayer. | christian-living christianity jesus-christ prayer | Stormie Omartian | |
| 6869d03 | Prayer is not telling God what to do. Prayer is partnering with God to see that His will is done. You don't have to fully understand what God's will is in order to pray that His will be done. | prayer | Stormie Omartian | |
| 32dbef2 | When I Have to Confess Something to My Husband Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. JAMES 5:16 THERE ARE TIMES in every wife's life when she needs to confess something to her husband that will be hard for him to hear. For example, if she has dented the car, or spent too much money, or overdrawn the bank account, or accidentally.. | Stormie Omartian | ||
| 6dc7629 | Hunger for God's Word like food. Thirst for it like water. Soak in it like a jacuzzi. Put it on like a garment. Weave it into your soul so that it becomes part of the fabric of your life. When you do, you won't just be trudging up the trail. You will be dancing in the footlights. | Stormie Omartian | ||
| c0be1f4 | The enemy uses lies to confuse people and fill them with anxiety and fear. The apostle John said, "We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one" (1 John 5:19). The enemy's lies completely mess up our thinking and weaken us if we believe them. Every day we must combat his lies with God's truth." | Stormie Omartian | ||
| 7bd1ec5 | Jesus said, "If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes" (Mark 9:23)." | Stormie Omartian | ||
| 52d01c9 | God doesn't want us carrying anything that is unnecessary because it will weigh us down and hinder what He has called us to do. | Stormie Omartian | ||
| dcd0305 | Praying always means praying through things and not giving up. It means being ever-watchful and persevering in prayer in order to see breakthrough. God wants us to be persistent in our praying. Don't forget to spend some quiet time praying to your Heavenly Father today. | inspirational motivational persistent prayer time | Stormie Omartian | |

| af9c255 | WORSHIP IS ...not just a song, it's a way of life. It's not just for musicians and good singers, it's for everyone. It's not just 20 minutes once a week. It's an ongoing daily attitude that reminds us of His greatness and our dependency upon Him. | Stormie Omartian | ||
| 064c26d | The reason we must put on the whole armor of God is to withstand evil. We don't war against people, but against a spiritual hierarchy of invisible power. | Stormie Omartian | ||
| 229c5e4 | There's so much to be grateful for, and praising God for giving you His Spirit is a great place to begin. Even if you don't think you have much to be grateful for right now, know that you can always praise God for the Holy Spirit's presence in your life! | grateful holy-spirit inspirational praise prayer | Stormie Omartian | |

| 5a1fbbe | When He Needs to Understand the Power of His Own Words Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit. PROVERBS 18:21 MANY MEN DON'T FULLY COMPREHEND the power and impact of their words. Just by reason of being male, a man's voice has the strength to be intimidating. A man can say something casually, carelessly, or insensitively without even realizing that he has frightened or hurt someone. Not all m.. | Stormie Omartian | ||
| 931c293 | It's always easier to see a lack of wisdom in others than it is to see it in ourselves. That's why we must pray daily for wisdom. | Stormie Omartian | ||
| 19c8275 | When you live by God's Word, your life works. When you live without God's Word, life doesn't work. God's Word builds you up, feeds your soul, and gives you strength, direction, guidance, hope, encouragement, and faith. Remember that He gave you His Word so that you would know Him and the way He wants You to live. | changes direction faith god hope inspirational prayer strength | Stormie Omartian | |

| 35d2edb | To say that Siena and Florence have always been competitive is an understatement. In medieval times, a statue of Venus stood on Il Campo. After the plague hit Siena, the monks blamed the pagan statue. The people cut it to pieces and buried it along the walls of Florence. | Rick Steves | ||

| 7c3cc13 | You painted it pink?' Price asked with a grin. 'That's lavender, you colour-blind eejit,' I said. McCallister saw that Price clearly hadn't got the message yet. 'Hey lads, you know why Price nearly failed the police entrance exam? He thought a polygon was a dead parrot.' The lads chuckled dutifully and somebody punched Price on the shoulder. | Adrian McKinty | ||
| bd2f17a | Keeping pigeons without a licence is illegal as well, but we can't have people going round shooting pigeon-keepers, can we? It is the job of the RUC to enforce the law in Northern Ireland, not paramilitary groups, not vigilantes, not 'concerned citizens', it's our responsibility and ours alone," McCallister said which made me proud of him. Not quite tears-in-eyes but maybe warm-glow-in-tummy." | Adrian McKinty | ||

| 765eb64 | How do you feel about homosexuals, Mr. Scavanni?' I asked. 'I think they're great. More women for the rest of us,' he said sarcastically. | women | Adrian McKinty | |
| 34eadbb | The Bible says that man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward. Well, trouble followed me like sharks trailing a slave ship. Even when I tried to get away it was there swirling in a vortex around me. | Adrian McKinty | ||
| b584874 | A cocked .38 doesn't feel the same as an unprimed revolver. The frame tightens differently, the trigger is on a hair and this tension is communicated to you and the people around you. | guns revolver tension | Adrian McKinty | |
| 59de19d | Radio One played "Ebony and Ivory," a new song by Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder. The breakfast DJ Mike Read played it two times in a row which was pretty hardcore of him as it was clearly the worst song of the decade so far, perhaps of the entire century." | Adrian McKinty | ||
| 6166c8d | I remembered about the pharma coke, went outside and nailed a line so pure it was like getting yelled at by God. Yorkshire tea, Mrs Campbell's Black Forest, Bayer cocaine - the lunch of champions. | Adrian McKinty | ||

| 410a122 | I roamed L.A. by night. I got repeatedly rousted by LAPD. I sensed that a cop-street fool compact existed. I behaved accordingly. I denied all criminal intent. I acted respectfully. My height-to-weight ratio and unhygienic appearance caused some cops to taunt me. I sparred back. Street schtick often ensued. I mimicked jailhouse jigs like some WASP Richard Pryor. Rousts turned into streetside yukfests. They played like Jack Webb unhinged. I .. | James Ellroy | ||
| b388d32 | When Vince was through talking that day, one of the grand jurors said, "Explain to me, to all of us, why in the world didn't you at some time go to Mrs. Reinert and warn her?" And by now Vince knew he'd spend the rest of his life being asked that question. And by now he knew that even when the words were not being uttered, the eyes were asking it." | Joseph Wambaugh | ||

| 782e916 | Nothing could be more fearful than losing one's freedom. To be confined. Never to see a golden cloudburst or rivers of sunlight on dark flowers. never to walk your own cultivated furrows. And the memory dangled over his heart like the sword of Damocles. | Joseph Wambaugh | ||

| fbe41ea | I die. O my hair falls out and my flesh rots and my bones are cracked by the hungry ta!a'an. He drops me behind him all around the forest and nothing will grow where his excrement from my marrow falls. As the years pass the forest dies from the poison of my remains. The soil washes into the sean and poisons the fish and all die. O the embarrassment. | Joe Haldeman | ||
| cea6ada | I die. I breathe in and breahe in and cannot exhale. I explode all over my friends. They forget my name and pretend it is dung. They wash off in the square and the well becomes polluted. All die. O the embarrassment. | Joe Haldeman | ||
| cadf5dc | This is embarrassing. I uh, die and, um the last breath from my lungs is a terrible acid. It melts the seaward wall of the city and a hurricane comes and washes it away. All die. O the embarrassment -You're much better at that than he was. | Joe Haldeman |
