“The most important aspects of our lives cannot be rushed. We cannot love, think, eat, laugh, or pray in a hurry...When we are in a hurry--which comes from overextension--we find ourselves unable to live with awareness and kindness.”
― James Bryan Smith, The Good and Beautiful God: Falling in Love with the God Jesus Knows

“Too many times we pray for ease, but that's a prayer seldom met. What we need to do is pray for roots that reach deep into the Eternal, so when the rains fall and the winds blow, we won't be swept asunder.”
― Philip Gulley

“i do not know what it is about you that closes
and opens;only something in me understands
the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses”

“In the end . . . . . . . Stand where we feel led. Stand straight, stand tall, and try to remember that other folks might be led to stand elsewhere.”
