Sermons We See
John Peter Geronimo
I’d rather see a sermon than hear one any day;
I’d rather one would talk me with than merely tell the way.
The eye’s a better pupil and more willing than the ear,
Fine counsel is confusing, but example’s always clear;
And the best of all the preachers are then men who live their creeds;
For to see good put in action is what everybody needs.
I soon can learn to do it if you’ll let me see it done;
I can watch your hand in action, but your tongue to fast may run.
And the lecture you deliver may be very wise and true,
But I’d rather get my lessons by observing what you do;
For I might misunderstand you nd the high advice you give,
But there’s no misunderstanding how you act and how you live.
When I see a deed of kindness, I am eager to be kind.
When a weaker brother stumbles and a strong man stays behind
Just to see if he can help him then the wish grows strong in me
To become as big and thoughtful as I know that friend to be.’
And all travelers can witness that the best of guides today
Is not the one who tells them, but the one who shows the way.
One good man teaches many, men believe what they behold;
One deed of kindness noticed is worth forty that are told.
Who stands with men of honor learns to hold his honor dear,
For right living speaks a language which to everyone is clear.
Though an able speaker charms me with his eloquence, I say,
I’D RATHER SEE A SERMON THAN HEAR ONE, ANY DAY…….

You know that wallpaper in Windows XP?
That was taken in 1996.
This is a photo taken of what it looks like now! In 2011.And yes, it’s a real place, not a computer generated one!
Pass it around folks!

A step-by-step study by Paul Catling envisioning how Nagini would break through Bathlida Bagshot’s body…
We get mad over the smallest reasons. We over analyze everything. We feel a sense of jealousy when we see you talking to someone who has more to offer. We get sad at the thought of ever losing you. We start pointless arguments and fights, just to see if you care enough to stick around. We often say things we later regret. We want to know you care as much as we do. It’s because we’re girls, and we need to be reassured from time to time.
