Every day is a gift from God. There's no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

I don't believe we are supposed to go through life defeated and not having enough money to pay our bills or send our kids to college.

No matter how long it's been, no matter how impossible it looks, if you'll stay in faith, your time is coming.

Sometimes what works 40 years ago doesn't work today.

We have to remember, when we forgive we're not doing it just for the other person, we're doing it for our own good. When we hold on to unforgiveness and we live with grudges in our hearts, all we're doing is building walls of separation.

You only have so much emotional energy each day. Don't fight battles that don't matter.

For a while... to be an evangelical meant you were a white Republican, and you were against this and against that. I don't want to be put into that mold, because then people judge you before they even listen... I don't want to divide the very people I am trying to reach.
