Talk is cheap

A quote from J.H. Newman from ny devotions this morning:

"One secret act of self-denial, one sacrifice of inclination to duty, is worth all the mere good thoughts, warm feelings, passionate prayers, in which idle people indulge themselves."

As with every day, I must choose today whether I am going to actually do something worthwhile or simple talk and dream about doing it.

"This is a faithful saying, and these things I will that thou affirm constantly, that they which have believed in God might be careful to maintain good works."
-Titus 3:8
