There’s a difference between saying, "I would like to visit England sometime" and saying, "I’m planning to visit England next week." One statement expresses a desire; the other indicates indefinite preparation.

If you have a letter from Mark Twain in your attic, it could be worth a lot of money. A personal, 9-page letter written to his daughter in 1875 sold for $33,000 back in 1991. Ordinary correspondence from the author of Tom Sawyer usually brings $1,200 to $1,500 a page. Experts say that even though Twain wrote 50,000 letters during his lifetime, demand is still strong for these personal notes from one of America’s favorite authors.

[Title] => A good name
[Summary] => The memory of the righteous is blessed, but the name of the wicked will rot. – Proverbs 10:7
On Memorial Day in the United States, thousands of people visit cemeteries and monuments to remember and honor their loved ones. They ponder a name carved n stone and recall the person for whom it stands.
This kind of reflection on the lives of those who have gone before us can encourage us to evaluate the way we are living today. When people hear our name, do they think of someone who is faithfully living for Christ?

[Title] => Bearing grapes
[Summary] => As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless if abides in the vine, neither you can, unless you abide in Me. – John 15:4
As I read a modern paraphrase of JOHN 15:1-8, I began to reconsider a fruitful Christian. Jesus said, "I am the Real Vine and my Father is the Farmer. He cuts off every branch of Me that doesn’t bear grapes. And every branch that is grape-bearing He prunes back so it will bear even more" (The Message by Eugene Peterson).
