God seems to reward us with good, delightful experiences when we move with joy through the less-than-delightful times.

When we attempt to find meaning in the pursuit of pleasure, the commitment to a job, or through plumbing intellectual depths, we all eventually find in each of these pursuits a dead end.

Our minds can be kept free of anxiety as we dump the load of our cares on the Lord in prayer.

Acceptance is taking from God's hand absolutely anything He gives, looking into His face in trust and thanksgiving.

Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.

If our perfect Lord is gracious enough to take our worst, and ugliest, our most boring, our least successful, and forgive them, burying them in the depths of the sea, then it's high time we give each other a break.

When it seems like that's all there is, remember all you have in Him.
