I have learned that my assignment is to write books for people who do not like to read books. I really try to connect with people who are not given to spending a lot of time with an open book. Pay day to me is when somebody comes up to me and says, "I never read books but I read yours." I have a heart for that person.

Those in the circle of Christ had no doubt of his love; those in our circles should have no doubt about ours.

We have the freedom to pray and the freedom to love the God of our heart. And we have been forgiven by the only one who could condemn us. We are truly free.

Our belief in God is not blind faith. Belief is having a firm conviction something is true, not hoping it's true.

God sees in you a masterpiece about to happen

Let's be the people who look at the hurting until we hurt with them. No hurrying past, turning away, or shifting of eyes. No pretending or glossing over. Let's look at the face until we see the person.

When we see death, we see disaster. When Jesus sees death, he sees deliverance!
