Christmas can be the end of emptiness and waywardness; The beginning of happiness and purposefulness.

Christmas is more that a time of festivities, family, and friends; it is a season of generosity, gladness, and gratitude.

Do more than belong: participate. Do more than care: help. Do more than believe: practice. Do more than be fair: be kind. Do more than forgive: forget. Do more than dream: work.

The regeneration of a sinner is an evidence of power in the highest sphere--moral nature; with the highest prerogative--to change nature; and operating to the highest result--not to create originally, which is great; but to create anew, which is greater.

Greatness is not found in possessions, power, position, or prestige. It is discovered in goodness, humility, service, and character.

Humanity either makes, or breeds, or tolerates all its afflictions.

The price of excellence is discipline. The cost of mediocrity is disappointment.
