Trying to observe the slow shift from self-centeredness to empathy is like trying to watch grass grow.

Spent time-like a spent bullet-tells us much about its "processor." for we see not only the residual slug, but indicators of how spent time is grooved by a man's soul, a reliable indicator of what a man is like.

The acceptance of the reality that we are in the Lord's loving hands is only a recognition that we have never really been anywhere else.

If, in the end, you have not chosen Jesus Christ it will not matter what you have chosen.

Coming unto the Lord is not a negotiation, but a surrender.

There are also flat periods in life which may well be the periods during which-before new lessons come- the past lessons of life are allowed to seep, quietly and deeply, into the marrow of the soul. These outwardly flat periods, when enduring well may not seem very purposeful,, are probably the times when needed attitudinal alignments are quietly occurring.

Even the good can become careless without the Lord's being there to chasten.
