I am convinced that wise planning is good. But plans, like material possessions, must always be held loosely. Yes - always! Plan wisely, but be ready for God to rearrange things and take you along paths that may feel dangerous to you. Don't sweat it; He knows what He's doing. And He isn't obligated to inform you ... or request permission to upset your neat little agenda!

Tell yourself right now and throughout today, that it's okay to draw away from the maddening crowd. Jesus did; so can you.

God declared me righteous!

Anyone who influences others is a leader.

With vision there is no room to be frightened. No reason for intimidation. It's time to march forward! Let's be confident and positive!

Without a quest, life is quickly reduced to bleak black and wimpy white, a diet too bland to get anybody out of bed in the morning. A quest fuels our fire. It refuses to let us drift downstream gathering debris.

I want to preach till the last breath in my lungs runs out.
