Upon attaining 55 years only on planet earth, he died on Wednesday, 22nd.March.1758 having been birthed on Friday, 5th.October.1703. In July 1727 he tied the knot with Sarah Pierpont, her father Reverend Jacob Pierpont officiating it and the ALMIGHTY LORD GOD blessed them with eleven children. Dyed-in-the-wool spiritual led lifestyle was his life, his wife’s life and his eleven children’s lives.

He prayed for his eleven children and pronounced words rife in blessings to each of them before they retired to bed. At the tender age of only 13 in 1716, he joined Yale University and became the President of Princeton University.

During the annual, global Camps’ Meetings: where are our children?
During the short and long academic holidays: where are our children?
What fodder do we serve our children all round the clock?
Poet Mayme White Miller makes me and all-outs but not: cop-outs, dropouts and hold-outs courtesy of her ineffable masterpiece lying below titled,“You Have Yourself To Blame.”
You Have Yourself To Blame:
If things go bad for you
And make you a bit ashamed,
Often you will find out that
You have yourself to blame.
Swiftly we ran to mischief
And then the bad luck came.
Why do we fault others?
We have ourselves to blame.
Whatever happens to us,
Here is what we say
“Had it not been for so-and-so
Things wouldn’t have gone that way.”
And if you are short of friends,
I’ll tell you what to do
Make an examination,
You’ll find the faults in you…
You are the captain of your ship,
So agree with the same.
If you travel downward,
You have yourself to blame.
The child of a rat is a rat.
Cross pollinated minds plus cross fertilized ideas equals to masterpieces and successes mentally, physically, socially and spiritually.
Human efforts plus Divine intervention equals to masterpieces and successes mentally, physically, socially and spiritually.
Minus HIM: undeniably I can’t; minus me: factually speaking HE won’t.
Outside GOD there is nothing but nothing.
Selah!
