A love that can never be fathomed;

A life that can never die;

A righteousness that can never be tarnished;

A peace that can never be understood;

A rest that can never be disturbed;

A joy that can never be diminished;

A hope that can never be disappointed;

A glory that can never be clouded;

A light that can never be darkened;

A happiness that can never be interrupted;

A strength that can never be enfeebled;

A purity that can never be defiled;

A beauty that can never be marred;

A wisdom that can never be baffled;

A resource that can never be exhausted.

To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it. But we must sail and not drift or lie at anchor.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Wealth is a pre-payment for a task to be performed.

Jay Kaufman

The Christian has to live in the world, but he must draw all his resources from outside of the world.

Donald Barnhouse

As Steven Curtis Chapman shares his personal psalm out of the deepest pain of loosing his daughter, Maria, "Beauty Will Rise" resonates heavy in my heart as I travel through this GR8ADVENTure trying to understand "It's All Yours God" My tears of love soak the ground as I work through my deepest pain for the loss of such a beautiful boy snatched from this earth after only 11 years. He shared his daily life with me for the past 4.5 years, My Lil Prophet Ricky. I know you are in the arm of Jesus waiting for the ones you love...... "This is not how it should be, this is not how it could be, but this is how it is and our God is in control. This is not how it will be, when we finally will see we'll see with our own eyes, He was always in control. And we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God and we will finally really understand what it means. So we'll sing holy, holy, holy is our God while we're waiting for that day.This is not where we planned to be when we started this journey, but this is where we are and our God is in control. Though this first taste is bitter, there will be sweetness forever when we finally taste and see, our God is in control"

There’s no faith like that of children. They know that God is quiet and calm and wonderful- big and interested in them, and kind. Their requests of God usually are reasonable and honest, modest. They seldom ask for more than they deserve. They know of no reason why the world, in fact, shouldn’t be mostly good.
