Language tethers us to the world; without it we spin like atoms.
Be patient. Let God answer your question on His schedule, not yours.
Avoid the trap of looking back unless it is to glorify God for what He has done.
In mercy, God has called you and saved, healed, blessed and delivered you.
Those ministers of God who go about condemning me rather than preaching the Gospel they are sent to preach, are doing themselves a great harm. The more they condemn me, the lesser their anointing become. Go round the country today and see what is happening. Those men of God who used to perform great signs and wonder have lost their anointing because of their blasphemies.
Your mind must be at its best for God before it becomes His dwelling place.
The peace of the world concerns only body and time but the peace, the joy, that Christ gives enriches the soul for eternity

A moment I've been dreading. George brought his ne're-do-well son around this morning and asked me to find the kid a job. Not the political one who lives in Florida. The one who hangs around here all the time looking shiftless. This so-called kid is already almost 40 and has never had a real job. Maybe I'll call Kinsley over at The New Republic and see if they'll hire him as a contributing editor or something. That looks like easy work.
Never regret anything that makes you smile.
