I blog about things that come to mind. Things that hopefully will help you grow spiritually. Things that will make you laugh, maybe. A good song or two. May a picture I have drawn. And I keep you updated about the church I pastor, Living Hope Assembly of God. www.livinghopeassembly.org

Mercy Not Strained
The quality of mercy is not strained.
It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven
Upon the place beneath. It is twice blest:
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes.
Tis mightiest in the mightiest; it becomes
The throned monarch better than his crown.
His scepter shows the force of temporal power,
The attribute to awe and majesty,
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of kings.
But mercy is above this sceptered sway;
It is enthroned in the hearts of kings;
It is an attribute of God himself;
And earthly power doth then show like God's
When mercy seasons justice.
-William Shakespeare
