Where most men work for degrees after their names, we work for one before our names: Saint.

God is not a slot machine. We don't go to God to get something; we go to give something.

Unless you are willing to do the ridiculous, God will not do the miraculous. When you have God, you don’t have to know everything about it; you just do it.

You want to do something for the Lord...do it. Whatever you feel needs to be done, even though youre shaking in your boots, youre scared to death -- take the first step forward. The grace comes with that one step and you get the grace as you step. Being afraid is not a problem; its doing nothing when you feel afraid.

Faith is what gets you started. Hope is what keeps you going. Love is what brings you to the end.

Our minds are so undisciplined that our doubts rule our lives and we don't master our imagination - it masters us.

I guess that is what dying must be like; to be finished and to be able to look back at the struggles of life, and know that God was your constant companion.
