I am the life just passing through. I'm what remains and so are you.
the moment you stop learning, you stop leading.
Worry is a waste of energy. It cant change the past. It cant control the future. It only makes today miserable
Remember how far you've come, not just how far you have to go. You are not where you want to be, but neither are you where you used to be.
It is only in God that we discover our origin, our identity, our meaning, our purpose, our significance, and our destiny. Every other path leads to a dead end.
We are products of our past, but we don't have to be prisoners of it.
I invite you to bow your head and quietly whisper the prayer that will change your eternity: Jesus I believe in you and I receive you.
Make today the BEST day of your life, because there is no good reason not to.
I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure--the web--of society needed reform,not demolition. To have cut the institutional and community strands without replacing them with new ones proved to be a form of abuse to one generation and to the next.

Home Alone was a lot and a lot and a lot of standing and sitting and walking and running and it was physically demanding but in this, I'm doing back flips and riding ostriches. It's physically demanding in a new way, so it's fun.
I was educated, I was trained, I was a Presbyterian and I knew how these things are done. I knew that in Biblical times if a man committed a sin the extermination of the whole surrounding nation-cattle and all-was likely to happen. I knew that Providence was not particular about the rest, so that He got somebody connected with the one He was after.
