THE FUTURE WAR OF THE CHURCH by Chuck D. Pierce, page 41:

"Even if you feel totally abandoned by earthly friends and family, know that the Lord can raise you up and prepare you for that special moment when He is going to use you for the advancement of His kingdom.. . .The other lesson we can learn is patience in our preparation. . . It is intriguing that Esther should be anointed with myrrh, a bitter resin, before she was anointed with perfumes. As we prepare for moving into what the Lord has for us, we may also find a season where we are faced with bitter, even painful circumstances. We may find it very difficult to walk through these times not fully understanding their purpose, but these very things prepare us for moving into our destiny."

Commonplace books are a means of coping with information overload! They help us select, organize, classify, and remember key moral precepts. "When it came time to put away childish things, the role of the copy book was assumed by its close cousin, the "commonplace book." The process of maturation required the production of more-personal collections of writings, meant to provide inspiration, direction, and moral fortitude. Reading the commonplace books of historical figures like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or any number of antebellum Southern ladies gives us an interior view of each person's self-image and the words that motivated him or her. -- Rachel Toor "Commonplaces: From Quote Books to 'Sig' Files" The Chronicle of Higher Education May 25, 2001"
