“A BMS hears hoofbeats outside his window, the first thing he thinks of is a zebra”

“When you hear clip-clop-clip outside your window in most cases the sound will be made by a horse, but once in a while (rarely), a zebra will be responsible for the sound.”

“...I hear the sounds of melting snow outside my window every night and with the first faint scent of spring, I remember life exists...”

“Each time, before you intercede, be quiet first, and worship God in His glory. Think of what He can do, and how He delights to hear the prayers of His redeemed people. Think of your place and privilege in Christ, and expect great things!”

“... the perennial outsider with his nose to the window, looking in on a world from which he felt excluded.”

“I suddenly realized. The zebra. It is not something outside of us. The zebra is something inside of us. Our fears. Our own self-destructive nature. The zebra is the worst part of us when we are face-to-face with our worst times. The demon is us!”
