Safety comes in our nearness to God, not in our distance from our enemies.

The end of the rope stops in the palm of God.

God repeatedly uses the least-likely and least-prepared individuals (ourselves included) to make the deepest impact on our world.

Each of us has our own specific vocation, a sacred journey prepared by the Creator of the universe.

We may not have the ability to change all of the world's wrongs, but we can make a difference where we are.

We may not understand why certain things occur in our lives, but we understand who to run to when they do.

The emphasis in Scripture is not the amount we give, but the attitude with which we give.
