Don't get older; get better: Live realistically. Give generously. Adapt willingly. Trust fearlessly. Rejoice daily.

Sometimes I wake up before dawn, and I love sitting up in the middle of the bed with all the lights off, pitch-black dark, and talking to the Father, with no interruptions and nothing that reminds me that there's anything in life but me and Him.

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.

I know of nothing more valuable, when it comes to the all-important virtue of authenticity, than simply being who you are.

There is only one you. God wanted you to be you. Don't you dare change just because you're outnumbered!

Anything under God's control is never out of control.

When God's in it, the job gets done.
