“Blessing is bowing down to receive the expressions of divine favor that in the inner recesses of the human heart and mind make life worth the bother.”

“When the stakes are high, bow down low.”

“As long as we live, our self-absorption and our insecurity will walk together, holding hands and swinging them back and forth like two little girls on their way to a pretend playground they can never find. Human nature dictates that most often we will be as insecure as we are self-absorbed. The best possible way to keep from getting sucked into the superficial narcissistic mentality that money, possessions, and sensuality can satisfy and secure us is to deliberately give ourselves to something much greater...[Christ] showed us that giving, rather than getting, is the means to receiving...to find yourself, your true self, you must lose yourself in something larger.”

“Courage comes from a heart that is CONVINCED it is loved.”

“Good humor and laughter are far too wonderful not to come straight from the heart of God.”

“Life works most perfectly when a reciprocal love relationship is in place between man and God.”

“some of us have so much defeat in our past that we feel we lost the race before we knew it started.”
