The purpose in life is not to win. The purpose in life is to grow and to share. "When you come to look back on all that you have done in life, you will get more satisfaction from the pleasure you have brought into other people's lives than you will from the times that you outdid and defeated them.

Sometimes we are simply "blown away" and in awe by finding ourselves in the presence of God. Other times, however, even when we are participating in acts of kindness-complimenting others, writing a check to charity, donating time to a good cause-we are oblivious to the miracle of what is happening at that moment.

I think of life as a good book. The further you get into it, the more it begins to make sense.

We cannot live without the knowledge that someone cares about us.

Given the unfairness that strikes so many people in life, I would rather believe in a God of limited power and unlimited love and justice, rather than the other way around.

Caring about others, running the risk of feeling, and leaving an impact on people brings happiness.

Prayer is simply coming into the presence of God. Because when you come into the presence of God, even the things you don't have matter a lot less.
