Quote of the Week

July 24, 2010 By Jean Wise


“If God sees that my spiritual life will be furthered by giving me the things for which I ask, then He will give them, but that is not the end of prayer. The end of prayer is that I come to know God Himself.”  

O. Chambers

    Good old Chambers. You can always count on him for a pithy, truer-than-true quotable quote. I love it!
