LAKE OCONEE —
In “Alice in Wonderland,” when Alice comes to a junction in the road that leads in different directions, she asks the Cheshire Cat, “Cheshire-Puss ... would you tell me please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to go to,” said the Cat. “I don’t much care where,” replied Alice. “Then it doesn’t matter which way you go.”
Where are you headed in life? It is important to know. Turn to God and ask. God will give you direction and purpose.
Wishing you much love and much light.

Realize what Christianity is all about
Kierkagaard in “And I looked around and nobody was laughing” says this, “I went into church and sat on the velvet pew. I watched as the sun came shining through the stained glass windows. The minister dressed in a velvet robe opened the golden gilded Bible, marked it with a silk bookmark and said, ‘If any man will be my disciple, said Jesus, let him deny himself, take up his cross, sell what he has, give it to the poor, and follow me.’”
