—A favorite photo from my files.)

A week of triple digit heat is taking a toll on me
So I’ve pulled a pic from my files for today.

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.
In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats,
so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still
come out of it.” —Maya Angelou

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed
is always to try just one more time.” —Thomas A Edison

AND, mean while—

My soul waits in silence for God alone; From God comes my salvation. God only is my rock and my salvation, My stronghold; I shall not be greatly shaken. (Psalm 62:1-2)

“My soul, wait in silence for God alone, For my hope is from Him.”
(Psalm 62:5)
