Live a life of gratitude, giving thanks in all circumstances.

The heaven I witnessed was so pure, love-filled, and magnificent that I did not want to return to earth.

Faith allows us to confidently walk with God into a future filled with joy; one that can become an extraordinary and amazing adventure.

The more we love, the more love we have to offer. So it is with God's love for us. It is inexhaustible.

When you are doing God's will everything seems to happen without much effort or many obstacles.

Even when it feels as if we are being crushed by earthly troubles, we can remain joyful. If we keep our focus on God, our spirit cannot be trampled.

God promises to open the door when we knock, and to always welcome us back into his love, no matter how far we have strayed.

I began to see my life and each breath I am given as a living prayer to God and a way to pray for others for our world.

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world.

I learned that myth doesn’t mean a lie; it means a traditional story that tells you something about people and their worldview and what they hold sacred. Interesting.

Ornate rhetorick taught out of the rule of Plato.... To which poetry would be made subsequent, or indeed rather precedent, as being less suttle and fine, but more simple, sensuous, and passionate.

There is something cathartic about having absolute loss articulated.

We both know the limits of this relationship. It's understood. And as long as we're both comfortablewith that, nobody gets hurt. It's basic.

Be quick to make decisions, but slow to give up.
