RB'S QUOTE OF THE DAY: April 17, 2012: "I'm not sure... about automobiles..."

"I'm not sure... about automobiles.... With all their speed forward they may be a step backward in civilization - that is, in spiritual civilization. It may be that they will not add to the beauty of the world, nor to the life of men's souls. I am not sure. But automobiles have come, and they bring a greater change in our life than most of us suspect. They are here, and almost all outward things are going to be different because of what they bring. They are going to alter war, and they are going to alter peace. I think men's minds are going to be changed in subtle ways because of automobiles; just how, though, I could hardly guess. But you can't have the immense outward changes that they will cause without some inward ones, and it may be that...the spiritual alteration will be bad for us. Perhaps, ten or twenty years from now, if we can see the inward change in men by that time, I shouldn't be able to defend the gasoline engine, but would have to agree... that automobiles 'had no business to be invented.'"

~Eugene, from Booth Tarkington's The Magnificent Ambersons, 1918

RB'S QUOTE OF THE DAY: April 14, 2012: “A good movie can take you out of your dull funk..."

RB'S QUOTE OF THE DAY: April 13, 2012: "Although superstitions don't seem to run as deep as they did in the 18th century..."

"Although superstitions don't seem to run as deep as they did in the 18th century, many still believe that the number 13 combined with Friday is a day to try to steer clear of bad luck.

Perhaps retailers could change this and start offering freebie and deals on Friday the 13th just like they do on Black Friday. Might change some of the long believed superstitions."

RB'S QUOTE OF THE DAY: April 8, 2012: "Not a word was heard at the tomb that day..."

"Not a word was heard at the tomb that day.

Just shuffling of soldiers feet as they guarded the grave.

One day, two days, three days had past.

Could it be that Jesus breathed His last?

Could it be that His Father had forsaken him?

Turned his back on his son despising our sin.

All hell seemed to whisper 'Just forget Him, He's dead.'

Then the Father looked down to His son and He said..

Chorus:

Arise, My love.

Arise, My love.

The grave no longer 

has a hold on you

No more death's sting

No more suffering

Arise...Arise...my love.

The Earth trembled and the tomb began to shake, 

and like lightening from Heaven the stone was rolled away. 

And as dead man the guards they all stood there in fright

As the power of love displayed its might.

Then suddenly a melody filled the air

Riding wings of wind, it was everywhere.

The words all creation had been longing to hear

The sweet sound of victory, so loud and clear.

Chorus

Sin, where are your shackles?

Death, where is your sting?

Hell; has been defeated. 

The grave could not hold the king.

Arise, My love.

Arise, My love.

The grave no longer 

has a hold on you

No more death's sting

No more suffering

Arise....Arise....Arise"

~Lyrics from "Arise My Love" by Newsong
