Good friends make for good company and even better memories.

Is it me or is it harder to forgive those that are closest to you? I think it's because they're the ones who have opinions that matter.

When I was younger I used to say, "I'll take care of that later," now that I'm older, I've realized that later is right now.

I've learned that everything from ministry, careers and education are all about production; doing more with less.

Nobody wants to hear excuses when they're waiting on a result; why aren't excuses legitimate reasons for incomplete tasks? I sometimes feel that an excuse is a gauge - maybe it just wasn't important.

We should relish and take the opportunity to enjoy the freedoms being an American affords us. People are being persecuted all over the world for their beliefs. Every time I hear a story of Christian martyrdom, genocide, famine, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, slavery - one life at a time needs to be touched by love.

I agree when PB said that everyone should have our respect, but it's up to them whether or not they keep it.

If you run away from a fire and move to a place to where you don't see it burning, you'll find that it'll continue burning whether you're there or not. Running away from problems doesn't do anything to solve them; there's just more to clean up when you return.

If time heals all wounds, how much more time do I need?

My friends bible doesn't crinkle when you turn the pages. Highlighter marks have bled through to the next page. Notes fill the white space once left on the page. Her purses are measured by their capacity to hold it...

I've said it before that prayer shouldn't be the last option, it should be the first option. Prayer is not an excuse for apathy.
