Spurgeon


Your heart is breaking, you say, with your troubles. 
It needs more breaking; for, 
if it was broken,

Where our selfishness and our self-will come in, 
there our sorrows begin.
 What is wanted is not the removal of trouble, 
but the conquest of self. 
- Charles Spurgeon

OK.  I like Ross now.  These shoes were $1.49.  Purple velvet DUCK SHOES.  IN MY SIZE.  My plans are to go into that store every time I get groceries from now on.  Can't beat $1.49 for some of the neatest shoes in the world. I have seen this in a couple of places on blogs and the internet in general.  I was fully planning on ordering one....but our Kroger store had them for $12 something.  We've made 6 or 7 cups of coffee with this in our K-pot....and I am tickled to have it. I can now buy fun kinds of ground coffee.....not to say that Wal-Mart store brand decaff is a fun brand, but it's what I always used to drink.  And I lived.
