“The tragedy is that every brain cell devoted to belief in the supernatural is a brain cell one cannot use to make life richer or easier or happier.”
Kay Nolte Smith

“Bow your heads and pray." The churchfull of heads obeyed, like rows of flowers cut with a single stroke.”
Kay Nolte Smith

“Father, we desire to know You in the fullness of Your glory. We don't want to be like a bride who holds her Groom at arm's length, allowing only service between them and never intimacy. Help us to see how much more we could have with You. Open our eyes to the joys that can be ours, if we would only place our hands in Yours and begin to walk where You lead us. Draw us, Father. We want to come closer.   In Jesus' name we pray, amen.”
Kay Nolte Smith, Pleasing God
