The life of Jesus Christ is a message of hope, a message of mercy, a message of life in a dark world.

I think the one thing that I cannot do without each day is hope. If you put me in a position where you took all my hope away, I'm not sure I could make it through the day.

No place is too common. No person is too hardened. No distance is too far. There's no person God cannot reach. There's no limit to his love.

A Christian in his surroundings should encourage everyone to be better, instead of being the one who stoops to be like everyone else.

Faith is not the belief that God will do what you want. It is the belief that God will do what is right.

Gratitude develops faith. The surest path out of a slump is marked by the road sign "thank you, God."

I picked up this book called Blue Mountain, supposed to be a really good book on the Civil War.
