To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; To earn the approbation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty; To find the best in others; To give of one's self; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; To know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - This is to have succeeded.

Following Jesus is simple, but not easy. Love until it hurts, and then love more. -Mother Teresa

No one has seen God, but as we love one another, God lives in us.

I am just a litle pencil in God's hand and with me He is writing a love letter to the world.

"The great paradox and humor of God's audacious power: 
a stuttering prophet will be the voice of God, 
a barren old lady will become the mother of a nation,
a sheperd boy will become their king,
and a homeless baby will lead them home."
