It helps me if I remember that God is in charge of my day - not I.

I think it is important to begin with a statement in your speech that grabs the attention of the audience. I try to make my opening line 15 words or less.

Good intentions and earnest effort are not enough. Only Jesus can make an otherwise futile life productive.

The lens of fear magnifies the size of uncertainty.

The devil, darkness, and death may swagger and boast, the pangs of life will sting for a while longer, but don't worry; the forces of evil are breathing their last. Not to worry...He's risen!

The decision to give ourselves to others is a daily taking up of the cross.
