“Mamma says God uses the bad times to build strength. Wonder how strong a person needs to be before things get easier.”

“You see Maggie, I realized the importance of our responses to the unanswered prayers. I had a choice to either grow bitter and turn away from God, or walk closer allowing his grace to guide each step. I don't know why some things happen the way they do, but I am sure of this: God is loving, and knows what he's doing. ”

“Daddy says every person on earth is born iwth a device that lets them know right from wrong. Some call it their conscience, others say it's their inner voice; he calls his a gift from God. I don't know what to call mine, but I do know it lives in my belly.”

“One of the problems with lying is you can never tell just one. It usually takes at least three, but sometimes more. In order to be good, a notebook should be kept nearby at all times. There's nothing worse than forgetting your lies in the middle of a story.”
