Christmas is best pondered, not with logic, but with imagination.

I believe for God not to allow pain to happen in the world is for Him to extract free will from the world.

Aren't you glad that God doesn't give you only that which you remember to thank him for?

The most powerful life is the most simple life. The most powerful life is the life that knows where it's going, that knows where the source of strength is; it is the life that stays free of clutter and happenstance and hurriedness.

Worry is to joy what a Hoover vacuum cleaner is to dirt: might as well attach your heart to a happiness-sucker and flip the switch.

Feed your fears and your faith will starve. Feed your faith, and your fears will.

God knows just the place where you'll be placed. He has a barren living room in desperate need of warmth and joy. A corner of the world needs some color. He selected you with that place in mind.
