If you allow it, [suffering] can be the means by which God brings you His greatest blessings.

Man is the only animal that when you pat him on the head, his head swells up.

God does not dispense strength and encouragement like a druggist fills your prescription. The Lord doesn't promise to give us something to take so we can handle our weary moments. He promises us Himself. That is all. And that is enough.

Nothing is more bothersome to me than retiring. Weird things happen when you disengage; first you get negative, then you start telling people about your latest surgeries, and eventually you lose touch. I want to stay in touch.

The stronger the winds, the deeper the roots, and the longer the winds, the more beautiful the tree.

If I had my life to live over, I'd have spent more hours in worship.

Worry and faith just don't mix.
