Henry Alford (HT: JollyBlogger & Pyromaniacs)

Wow. There is just SO much I don’t even know ANYTHING about!

Do you know of this great man: Henry Alford? I sure didn’t. But I want to learn more about him.

Apparently he was brilliant–but listen to just one paragraph describing him (emphasis added):

“Nor was he merely an arid academic. When he was sixteen, Alford wrote in his Bible, “I do this day, as in the presence of God and my own soul, renew my covenant with God, and solemnly determine henceforth to become His, and to do His work as far as in me lies.” He was known for his consistent and holy life, as well as his likable, friendly way of dealing with people.”

I want to be like this man!

Ok, Ok, I know I’ll never like him in the smarts department. But oh! I do pray that I would learn more and more each day how to be “likable and friendly.”

(I’m SO grateful for my church and my friends who help me to grow in grace.)

Solo Deo Gloria!

For God’s glory and love of God and neighbor.

Blessed Thursday to you!

With love,
