The U.S. Army has recently removed the cross from the insignia worn by chaplains. In its place is a sun with its rays, symbolizing the divine in all things.

It has nothing to do with the time being right or wrong. Storms just happen.

Listening is a discipline. It's all about being present at that moment in time.

Destiny and fate are of one’s own making, and riches and happiness are rarely found at the end of an easily-traversed path.

The only time you have is the where and when of right now. There will always be good times, bad times, hard times, and complete disasters. However, there is no other option but to be where you are, when you are. That is a universal truth for everyone. The important thing is how you respond, what you decide to do, and when you decide to do it.

Until you take the first step forward, failure remains reassuringly impossible.

In this world of half-jobs and liars, I will prevail.
