My Two-Lane Highway on Substack (Guest Post)

A white blanket is spread on grass. It holds an open laptop, notebook and pen, white smartphone. A young woman with long hair, wearing a tee-shirt and stylishly-ripped jeans, is sitting on the blanket studying the laptop screen. Her hand is positioned to use the mouse touchpad.Image by My Assignment Writing Help from PixabayMy Two-Lane Highway on Substackby Steph Beth Nickel

“Think often on God, by day, by night, in your business and even in your diversions. He is always near you and with you; leave him not alone.”
Brother Lawrence

“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

“We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.”
Oswald Chambers

“You can't get a suit of armour and a rubber chicken just like that. You have to plan ahead.”
Michael Palin

“After spending most of her life scanning the horizon for slights and threats, genuine and imagined, she knew the real threat to her happiness came not from the dot in the distance, but from looking for it. Expecting it. Waiting for it. And in some cases, creating it. Her father had jokingly accused her of living in the wreckage of her future. Until one day she’d looked deep into his eyes and saw he wasn’t joking. He was warning her.”
Louise Penny, The Long Way Home
