“...be careful when choosing what you're proud of--because the world has every intention of using it against you.”
― Amor Towles, Rules of Civility

“God doesn't want us to be happy when it causes us to do something wrong or unwise”
― Craig Groeschel, The Christian Atheist: Believing in God but Living As If He Doesn't Exist

“May God bless you with discomfort at easy answers, half truths, and superficial relationships, so that you may live deep within your heart.

May God bless you with anger at injustice, oppression, and exploitation of people, so that you may work for justice, freedom and peace.

May God bless you with tears to shed for those who suffer from pain, rejection, starvation, and war, so that you may reach out your hand to comfort them and to turn their pain in to joy.

And may God bless you with enough foolishness to believe that you can make a difference in this world, so that you can do what others claim cannot be done. To bring justice and kindness to all our children and the poor.

Amen.”
― Craig Groeschel, It: How Churches and Leaders Can Get It and Keep It

“You can suffer the pain of change or suffer remaining the way you are.”
