Food For Thought

The Holy Spirit is the spirit of joy. He is the call to return with which God Blessed the minds of His separated Sons. This is the vocation of the mind. T – 69

These idea’s, (food for thought) are messages from the “Course of Miracles” delivered by God, through a Manual, Textbook and Workbook. I hope you like them.

A true leader has the confidence to stand alone, the courage to make tough decisions, and the compassion to listen to the needs of others. He does not set out to be a leader, but becomes one by the equality of his actions and the integrity of his intent.
— General of the Army, Douglas MacArthur

– U.S.S. Reindeer, Acting Lieutenant Henry A. Glassford, with Army steamer Silver Lake No. 2 in company, beginning on the 26th, reconnoitered the Cumberland River at the request of General Grant. The force moved from Nashville to Carthage without incident but was taken under fire five times on the 29th. The Confederates’ positions, Glassford reported, “availed them nothing, however, against the guns of this vessel and those of the Silver Lake No. 2; they were completely shelled out of them. The gunboats continued as far as Creelsboro, Kentucky, before “the river gave unmistakable signs of a fall.” The ships subsequently returned to Nashville.
