Gratitude changes the pangs of memory into a tranquil joy.

Your life as a Christian should make non believers question their disbelief in God.

The person who’s in love with their vision of community will destroy community. But the person who loves the people around them will create community everywhere they go.

Being a Christan is less about cautiously avoiding sin than about courageously and actively doing God's will.

Silence in the face of evil is evil itself.

Judging others makes us blind, whereas love is illuminating. By judging others we blind ourselves to our own evil and to the grace which others are just as entitled to as we are.

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.

We are not to simply bandage the wounds of victims beneath the wheels of injustice, we are to drive a spoke into the wheel itself.

Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.

The exclusion of the weak and insignificant, the seemingly useless people, from a Christian community may actually mean the exclusion of Christ; in the poor brother Christ is knocking at the door.

Christianity without discipleship is always Christianity without Christ.

Covert your time for discovery

If you respect & care about someone, give him/her direct feedback in his/her face. Please don't be coward and use proxies! Be a man/woman!!!

You just deal with the cards that are dealt you and you just go on and push forward.

I'll never get sick of raising my children, but other people might get sick of them.

Growing up in America, I never really appreciated my culture. I knew what being Hispanic was, but I thought that since I didn't look Hispanic, I was white.

I think the officials and NFL owners are playing to the type of game that people want to see.

Whenever I reference something, it usually comes back at some point. I don't know why.

I don't believe things happen in vain. I believe they happen for a reason.

Music's always been really cathartic. It's the best drug for me to get away from the everyday pressures just for a second via a good song.
