For being able to use language was a critical skill that could carry one far. One could use it professionally, as a crafter of everything from political speeches to modern novels. One could use it personally, as a tool of discovery or a means of staying connected to others. One could use it as an outlet that would feed the artistic spirit of the creator, which existed in everyone.

Don't give away to others what you have not first given away at home.

Little choices determine habit; Habit carves and molds character. Which makes the big decisions.

It's one thing to have a goal, but it's quite another thing to actually accept the challenge, develop a strategy to press for the goal, make the sacrifices, pay the price to move forward, and blessing of blessing, to realize some part of it.

Just as stars shine brightest in the darkest night, your joy blazes brilliantly through life's problems when you count them as joy.

God will help you make the choices that guide you into His path for each stage and age of your life.

I want God to be first in my life, so I'm putting Him first in my life today.
