One essential ingredient for being an original in the day of copies is courageous vision.

The happiest people I know are the ones who have learned how to hold everything loosely and have given the worrisome, stress-filled, fearful details of their lives into God's keeping.

Let your life yield a sweet, winsome melody that this old world needs so desperately. Yes you can if you will.

You know one of the most encouraging things about faith? It pleases God.
