*(Although this is attributed to Benjamin Franklin, there is no evidence he ever said this epigram. Some scholars have attributed it to a Confucian philosopher named Xun Kuang, who lived in the fourth century B.C.)

Life's Clock

The clock of life is wound but once,
And no man has the power
To tell just where the hands will stop--
At late or early hour.

To lose one's wealth is sad indeed,
To lose one's health is more,
To lose one's soul is souch a loss
As no man can restore.

The present only is our own;
Live, love, toil with a will.
Place no faith in tomorrow,
For the clock may then be still.
Etta Johnson


Mark 11:23
"Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them.

Matthew 17:20
He replied, "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."

Matthew 21:21
Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and it will be done.
