How to Quote a True War Hero

              Hello again, readers.


             As it turns out, I had a spare minute, so I decided to write out a post, seeing as how the recent wave of comments assured me that I still had a readership (by the way, I encourage all my commenters to follow The Wordsmith Alphabetical for more updates).

             While this post is officially under Craft Talk, it can also be put under Greatest Quotations, since it is about that too, in a way.

I'll Return, Trust Me

              Now that summer has come to an end, I've got to return to school. Therefore, the resulting posts will probably be shorter, less frequent, or sometimes nonexistent. Have no fear, fellow writers. I won't forget to post on vacations and some weekends, and I'll be back with more labels next summer!


              I leave with another Greatest Quotation.

            Herman Bavinck - "Faith is concentrated on the historic realities of redemption and results in trust that these historic acts are God’s saving acts for us. It is the same Spirit that inspired the apostolic witness that now seals the truth of that witness in believers’ hearts. Christians submit to Scripture because they believe it is a divine word, a word from God…. The authority of Scripture, accepted in Spirit-inspired faith, is a powerful self-asserted authority. We believe it because God said it, and God’s speaking is the final ground of our faith. There is no power in the world comparable to that of Scripture."

The Foggy Sandman

             When I read this poem for the first time, I was still at the age where I thought all poetry must rhyme. If you think that way, you'll most likely not appreciate this poem. If you think about how this poem sounds (it's always encouraged to read poetry aloud), you may think differently.
