The Angel Appearing

I'm reading another life of Christ--I especially enjoy that in Month 6--and look at the difference in meaning between these two phrases, of when the angels came to the shepherds in the fields:

The popular one in our KJV is "...and on earth, peace, good will toward men."

But in this old book, it gives an earlier translation: "and on earth peace among men of good will."

Does the difference mean anything to you?

Loved this quote-- thank you Tiffany mouritsen Hess:

Black history month should certainly feature Francis Ellen Watkins Harper:

"Every mother should be a true artist, who knows how to weave into her child's life images of grace and beauty, the true poet capable of writing on the soul of childhood the harmony of love and truth, and teaching it how to produce the grandest of all poems - the poetry of a true and noble life."

I loved this statement at the end of The Life of Jesus by William Forbush:

"He succeeded in finding pleasure in more things than did anyone else. He saw the inner beauty in neglected objects...and set the world an example of a life that honored God in the fine art of beautiful living."

Exactly what we are engaged in: The fine art of beautiful living.

"Give them habits of thinking and talking and reading and a sense of self-respect. Open their eyes to the world about them, open their minds to the world of learning, open their hearts to the world of their fellow men. Let them come to know the richness of life."

--The objectives of Grundtvig's Danish Folk High Schools

A good summary of WEH objectives!
