“Accountability is the natural product of agency and is the basis of the plan of life. We are responsible for our own actions and accountable to God for what we choose to do with our lives. Life is God’s gift to us, and what we do with it is our gift to him.”

“The only infallible truth of our lives is that everything we love in life will be taken from us.”

“When we think of our family, our spouse, parents, or children, let us see them as a gift from God.”
