“When the corn is nearly ripe it bows the head and stoops lower than when it was green. When the people of God are near ripe for heaven, they grow more humble and self-denying...Paul had one foot in heaven when he called himself the chiefest of all sinners and least of saints.”
John Flavel
“Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.”
Oscar Wilde

Abigail Van Buren
