If you have felt hopeless, hold on! Wonderful changes are going to happen in your life as you begin to live it on purpose.

Help us, oh God, to remember that we are Americans. United not by race or religion or by blood, but to our commitment to freedom and justice for all. When we focus on ourselves, when we fight each other, when we forget you, forgive us.

First open your heart, then open your Bible.

We are not saved by good works; we are saved for good works. The Christian lifestyle is to be a lifestyle of goodness.

Not everything in this life has a happy ending, but this life is not the end of the story.

Character is never built in a classroom; it is built in the circumstances of life.

Love pays attention. Love listens to the fears and the doubts of others and treats them with respect. Love accepts others the way Jesus accepts you.
