When You're Part of That Peculiar Class

There are times when someone else perfectly puts into words what you often think of yourself...

"He seems, in fact, to have been a type of that peculiar class of men who have the faculty of getting things into their heads, while they are unable to bring them out again---mighty at heaping up knowledge, but impotent at spreading it---clever at accumulating literary treasure, but utterly incapable of spending it."
~J.C.Ryle describing a biographer of the great Puritan William Gurnall

  1. MAybe, I misunderstand what you are trying to say... your life pours out on so many - what you have learned. Our thoughts are best articulated through the many small kindnesses we show to those around us.
    Blessings to you dear Trisha,
    Jojo

  3. Well, that stinker Blogger wasn't supposed to post this until tomorrow! HA!

    Jojo,
    Thank you for the sweet words. I just had to chuckle when I read this description because I too often fail to communicate well. I love what you said about our thoughts being best articulated through the many small kindnesses we show...that is so beautiful!

    Jill,
    Thank you, my friend. My life is blessed by yours as well, and I hope your week is full of the joy of the LORD. Love you!
