If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” ~Colossians 3:1-2

But to every man there openeth,

A high way and a low,

And every mind decideth,

The way his soul shall go.

One ship sails East,

And another West,

By the self-same winds that blow,

Tis the set of the sails And not the gales,

That tells the way we go.

Like the winds of the sea

Are the waves of time,

As we journey along through life,

Tis the set of the soul,

That determines the goal,

And not the calm or the strife.
