Some quotes:
Nothing is more generally known than our duties which belong to Christianity; and yet, how amazing is it, nothing is less practiced? If your souls were not immortal, and you in danger of losing them, I would not thus speak unto you; but the love of your souls constrains me to speak: methinks this would constrain me to speak unto you forever. Although believers by nature, are far from God, and children of wrath, even as others, yet it is amazing to think how nigh they are brought to him again by the blood of Jesus Christ. Among the many reasons assignable for the sad decay of true Christianity, perhaps the neglecting to assemble ourselves together, in religious societies, may not be one of the least.More qu0tes can be found at such sites as “Brainy Quotes”.
Travels from Ur 
Inspiring. Is the “Journey from Ur” title a reference to the land from which Abraham came?
Thanks for visiting. Yes the title reflects the fact that we are all on a variety of journeys – physical, emotional, but especially, spiritual.
Cool. Yes we are on a journey. I appreciate the metaphor.
