Hi Royal,
I just had one of those “accidental” encounters yesterday and even though I don’t always pay “close attention” God usually “gets my attention” and I’m always glad that He does. :)
Have a great weekend,

I like Augustine he started the 1st Christian monstary in Cantabury,Kent ^-^
Great insight from Augustinus. I'm glad you posted it. It's good to keep such wise words alive.
Wasn't he one of four who started the Latin Church? His father raised him with lots of the tools he needed to grow with such wisdom.
I sooooooooo wanna see a latin vulgate bible someday *o*
Hey folks,
Thanks for being my guest. I would have to say, I don't know much about Augustine yet. He is a great person to quote as I have used him many times over the years.
I know that reading Confessions by Augustine is supposed to be a must read and is on my list of books to read that you really have to chew on in the future.
great quote
