Battles are won in the trenches, in the grit and grime of courageous determination; they are won day by day in the arena of life.

Lead with action and let the feelings follow.

Allow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view.

God uses those who seem ill-fitted for a significant life.

God is a specialist when the anguish is deep. His ability to heal the soul is profound...but only to those who rely on His wounded Son will experience relief.

...when you trust the Lord God to give you the next step, when you wait in humility upon Him, *He* will open the doors or close them, and you'll get to rest and relax until He says, 'Go.

Honesty has a beautiful and refreshing simplicity about it. No ulterior motives. No hidden meanings. An absence of hypocrisy, duplicity, political games, and verbal superficiality. As honesty and real integrity characterize our lives, there will be no need to manipulate others.
