“Faith is like lighting the torch that passes from one person to the next. You can’t light the torch of another if yours isn’t burning.”

God doesn’t work on our timetable. He has a plan that He will execute perfectly and for the highest, greatest good of all, and for His ultimate glory.

The size of a challenge should never be measured by what we have to offer. It will never be enough. Furthermore, provision is God’s responsibility, not ours. We are merely called to commit what we have – even if it’s no more than a sack lunch.

Friends make life a lot more fun.

We aren’t just thrown on this earth like dice tossed across a table. We are lovingly placed here for a purpose

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

Patience is a bitter plant that produces sweet fruit.

Laughter is the most beautiful and beneficial therapy God ever granted humanity.

We continually encounter hardships. People disappoint us. We disappoint ourselves. But God is constant and compassionate. We are not alone. He cares. Against all reason, the transcendent God loves us so much that He has committed Himself to us.

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.

On tough days, you gotta have heart. Don’t quit, whatever you do. Persevere.

Encourage one another. Many times a word of praise or thanks or appreciation or cheer has kept people on their feet.

Anything under God’s control is never out of control.

Refuse to let your situation determine your attitude.

Authentic men aren’t afraid to show affection, release their feelings, hug their children, cry when they’re sad, admit it when they’re wrong, and ask for help when they need it.

It’s not enough merely to believe there is a God. You must believe in the God who is there.

God never asked us to meet life’s pressures and demands on our own terms or by relying upon our own strength. Nor did He demands that we win His favor by assembling an impressive portfolio of good deeds. Instead, He invites us to enter His rest.

Was this the face that launched a thousand ships, and burnt the topless towers of Ileum?

I guess this has been my confusion; where I went wrong. Thinking that love could possibly come as a thing without the burns.

I love the freedoms we got in this country, I appreciate your freedom to burn your flag if you want to, but I really appreciate my right to bear arms so I can shoot you if you try to burn mine.

I erected cities with adoration on my tongue and you burnt mine down in the wake of your love.

Cut is the branch that might have grown full straight, And burned is Apollo’s laurel bough, That sometime grew within this learned man. Faustus is gone.

I am Envy, I cannot read and therefore wish all books burned.

Watching the luminous waves in the darkness of the night we sit side by side, you pull me in and hold me tight, you whisper lets stay this way, till the stars all burn away.

The third big war will begin when the big city is burning.
