Half the things that we expect to come upon us, never come at all. Where is our faith? Where is our confidence in our Savior's words? We may well take shame to ourselves, when we read these verses, and then look into our hearts. But this we may be sure of, that David's words are true, "I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread." (Psalm 37:25.) — J.C.

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head, John Conyers, says he doesn't understand it.

What could possibly go wrong? — Rush Limbaugh
