Norman Vincent PealeGod has called us into a place of tenderness, when nobody is looking, when there are no great decisions to make, when itโs just him and me in a hotel room, with no one to pray for, no one to preach to.

Itโs in the moments when nobody is watching, nobody is evaluating how good youโre doing. When it is just you and him.

Brigham YoungI believe that we learn by practice. Whether it means to learn to dance by practicing dancing or to learn to live by practicing living, the principles are the same. In each, it is the performance of a dedicated precise set of acts, physical or intellectual, from which comes shape of achievement, a sense of one's being, a satisfaction of spirit. One becomes, in some area, an athlete of God. Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire.
