difficult and untried...

"The Christian ideal

has not been tried and found wanting;

it has been found difficult

and left untried."

~GK Chesterton

(What's Wrong With The World, Chapter 5, 1910 )

reminds me of a quote I read today - "opportunities are usually disguished by hard work so most people don't recognize them." Ann Landers.

I love Chesterton!

The best things in the world, I think, are also the hardest.

I recalled my pastor told me this "it's never convinent to do what's right". Probably that's why not many Christian keen of doing the right thing...

I'm so glad you've stopped by! I love hearing from you and can't wait to read your comments! Let me know what's on your mind and your heart today...

what's with the title...?

a wordplay on the song title "It's The Hard Knock Life" from the musical 'Annie.' why? because, though at times life seems like it's just full of 'hard knocks,' it is truly full of wonderful displays of God's love for us...if we will but look. He enjoys reminding us of His amazing love in even the smallest ways!... like in the shape of a rock... a heart rock... whispering "My love for you is rock-solid!" so, this is what i want my time on earth to be about --pursuing A Heart Rock Life--seeing and delighting in the creativity, wonder, and love of the Lord no matter what life brings my way!
