Don't ever be discouraged with yourself because you have not arrived at success, but instead be pleased that you are pressing toward it.

Compliment people. Magnify their strengths, not their weaknesses.

Be a blessing to someone else.

If you are accused of being a Christian, there should be enough evidence to convict you.

I've been so mistreated by male authority in my life that I had a terrible time in my marriage trying to be a submissive wife. I wanted to rule the roost in everything. And it wasn't even really that I was rebellious; I was afraid of being hurt. And I think that a lot of people that choose these alternative lifestyles, I think it's because they've been hurt somewhere along the line very badly.

If we are to receive the blessings God wants to bestow upon us, we must be willing to give Him the messes in our lives.

If you don't love yourself, it's impossible for you to love others. You can't give away what you don't have.
