Those with the softest hearts build the hardest shells.

Sunsets, like childhood, are viewed with wonder not just because they are beautiful but because they are fleeting.

I have Tourettes syndrome.

The most difficult of decisions are often not the ones in which we cannot determine the correct course; rather the ones in which we are certain of the path but fear the journey.

So often the pain of our life is no more than a reminder to take our hand off the stove.

There are none so impoverished as those who do not acknowledge the abundance of their lives

such fickle days of love when pain and ecstasy share the same hour

The greatest shackles we bear in thislife are those forged by our own fears

Aren't hidden doors the most alluring? The old stories point that out surely. Even the greatest heroes and heroines fall under the spell of a locked door.

Yet, Jesus is selfless in the way He gives His life away for you. So if your gaze is on Him, you will treat others as He is treating you.

I feel it's my responsibility to turn people on to great music.
