No pressure is greater than God's power.

While I wholeheartedly believe in choosing to approach every challenge with a great attitude, I don't mean that we should abandon authenticity and live in fantasyland.

Our identity as Christians is strengthened as we stand in the lengthening shadows of saints down through the centuries, who have always answered back in antiphonal voice: 'He is risen, indeed!'

The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

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

The Lord delights to surprise us with His goodness, if only we will unlock the door of obedience with the key of faith - which He has given - and then push it open and walk through.

Sometimes people can't see past us to hear our message. We never have a second chance to leave a first impression.
