::~ No Easy Walk ~::

There Is No Easy Walk To Freedom Anywhere,

And Many Of Us Will Have To Pass Through The

Valley Of The Shadow Of Death Again And Again

Before We Reach The Mountaintop Of Our Desires.

_ Nelson Mandela



Everything That Was Written In The Past Was Written

To Teach Us, So That Through Endurance And The

Encouragement Of The Scriptures We Might Have Hope.

_ Romans 15:4



Lead Gently, LORD, And Slow, For, Oh, Our Steps

Are Weak, And Ever As We Go, Some Soothing Sentence

Speak; That We May Turn Our Face Through Doubt's

Obscurity Toward Thine Abiding-Place.

Even Though We Cannot See.

For Lo, The Way Is Dark;

Through Mist And Cloud We Grope.

Save For That Fitful Spark.

The Little Flame Of Hope.

Lead Gently, LORD, And Slow,

For Fear That We May Fall;

We Know Not Where To Go Unless

We Hear THY CALL.



Our Fainting Soul Doth Yearn For Thy

Green Hills Afar;

So Let THY MERCY BURN-OUR GREATER,

Guiding STAR!



_ Paul Lawrence Dunbar
