TGIF

There was some nasty weather in Florida early this morning. I woke at around 3 am to very bright flashing of lightning and loud thunder. East of us a couple counties, they experienced tornadoes which destroyed parts of mobile home communities.

It's been a busy week. Today is the first day I'll be home all day and can get some things done around the house.

I am still reading a book I mentioned on here recently, Searching for God Knows What, and came across a quote he put in the book that I love so much. It is by an unlikely person: Napoleon Bonaparte. Here is the quote in the book:

"I know men and I tell you that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I founded empires. But on what did we rest the creations of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of people would die for Him."

Here is another quote of his that I found online and like also:

"Across the chasm of eighteen hundred years Jesus Christ makes a demand which is beyond all others difficult to satisfy. He asks that for which a philosopher may often seek in vain at the hands of his friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of her spouse, or a man of his brother. He asks for the human heart; he will have it entirely to himself; he demands it unconditionally, and forthwith his demand is granted. Wonderful!"
