{taken from Our High Calling} The Brightest Subject of Our Thoughts Why not keep your minds fixed on the unsearchable riches of Christ, that you may present to others the gems of truth? In the Word of God there are rich mines of truth that we may spend our whole lifetime in exploring, and yet we shall find that we have only begun to view their precious stores. Sink the shaft deep, and bring up the hidden treasures. But it is impossible to do this while we indulge an idle, restless spirit, seeking constantly for something that will merely gratify the senses, something to amuse, and cause a foolish laugh. . . . Minds that are occupied with frivolous reading, with exciting stories, or with seeking after amusement, do not dwell upon Christ, and cannot rejoice in the fullness of His love. The mind that finds pleasure in foolish thoughts and trifling conversation, is as destitute of the joy of Christ as were the hills of Gilboa of dew or rain. Does not your own experience testify to this? How much peace of mind do you have at the close of a day spent in frivolity, in light and trifling conversation? Can you retire to rest at night, saying, "It is well, it is well with my soul"? . . . How often when you come into the house of God, into the solemn assembly, your thoughts are turned to that foolish remark which someone has made, to that idle story, or that comical thing which you read or saw. And the thought will come at just such a time as to eclipse a bright ray of the glory of Christ, and you lose the benefit of the heaven-sent light which you ought to receive. . . . We need to be constantly filling the mind with Christ, and emptying it of selfishness and sin. . . . Just as surely as you empty your mind of vanity and frivolity, the vacuum will be supplied with that which God is waiting to give you--His Holy Spirit. Then out of the good treasure of the heart you will bring forth good things, rich gems of thought, and others will catch the words. . . . Your thoughts and affections will dwell upon Christ, and you will reflect upon others that which has shone upon you from the Sun of Righteousness.

Promise Be strong Joshua 1:6 Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them.

5 Things You Didn't Know About Paul Revere_2 On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere made history with his midnight ride to warn colonists that the British were coming. The Trivia Today team has put together these five shocking facts you probably didn't know about Paul Revere and his midnight ride! Revere Was Captured Before He Completed His Ride Although Paul Revere did ride to warn colonists the British were coming, he wasn’t the only one warning colonists. Nor did he ride alone. Revere was accompanied by Samuel Prescott and William Dawes, and they split up later, going in different directions. Around halfway through their ride, Revere was captured by a British patrol, and Dawes lost his horse, but Prescott made it to Concord in time to spread the news that the British were on their way. He Had to Borrow a Horse to Make His Ride After Revere crossed the Charles River under cover of darkness, he needed a worthy steed to carry him the 20 or so miles to Concord. He borrowed one from John Larkin, a Charlestown patriot, who got it from his father, Deacon John Larkin. The horse, a mare named Brown Beauty, was captured and Larkin would never see Brown Beauty again. Revere did, however, refer to the beast as "a very good horse." Revere Never Said, "The British Are Coming!" Though it certainly makes the story more exciting, the statement would have made no sense in 1775 considering the fact that colonialists were...well...all British. That'd be a bit like running through Massachusetts today saying, "Americans are coming this way!" Actual accounts of Revere's midnight ride reveal he and his riding pals actually said: "The Regulars are coming out." Admittedly, that's a lot less catchy than "The British are coming," but people are rarely considering how they'll sound in the history books. However, He Did Introduce the Famous Phrase "One If by Land, Two If by Sea." Fearing he may not even make it across the Charles River without getting caught by British troops, Revere made a "Plan B." He coordinated a signal with Christ's Church in Boston's North End (which is right on the river) to notify colonists in Charlestown when the British troops were coming. One lantern in the bell tower meant troops were coming by land, two in the tower indicated a naval attack. He Went on to Become a Successful Businessman. After the American Revolution, Revere opened a hardware store, a foundry and eventually the first rolling copper mill in the United States. He provided materials for the historic frigate USS Constitution, which played an important role in the War of 1812 and is the world’s oldest floating commissioned naval vessel. He also produced more than 900 church bells, one of which still rings every Sunday in Boston’s King’s Chapel. Revere Copper Products, Inc., is still in operation today.
