Thursday Text: Walden

I had to speak in church on Sunday, and one of the things that I touched on was simplicity. I am always thinking about simplifying my life. Thoreau actually did when he lived in a little cabin at Walden Pond. (Here's a picture that I took when we were there a few years ago.)

As he recorded his thoughts about his time there, he said:

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.
