My belief as a Christian is when we receive Christ as salvation, that that gives us a guarantee for Heaven.

Don't waste your energy trying to convince people to understand you. Your time is too valuable to try to prove yourself to people.

I don't have to figure out how God is going to solve my problem. I don't have to understand how He's going to bring it to pass. That's His responsibility. My job is to simply believe that He will.

Difficult times don't come your way just so you can survive them; God uses these times in your life to form and refine you.

Never put a question mark where God has put a period. When something is over and done, let it go and move on to the next chapter of your life.

Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.

The more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.

Learn to trust His timing. Don't get in a hurry; don't grow impatient; don't try to force doors open. Don't try to make things happen in your own strength. Let God do it His way.

There are people in your path just so you can be a blessing to them. Anytime you do good for others, you are sowing a seed for God to be good to you.

You have to accept the fact that some people are never going to be for you. Treat them with respect, but you don’t need their approval to fulfill your destiny.

Wake up every morning with a thankful attitude. Expect something good to happen in your life today.

Survival isn’t all there is to life

Too much of a good thing is toxic

Facts must be faced. Vegetables simply don't taste as good as most other things do.

Yuri Gagarin, the first man in space, may have had his charms, but he really couldn't be considered hip.

I buried Joel on our 48th anniversary. I had been with her since I was 16.

I’ve got four nipples. I think I must have been a twin, but the one other went away and left its nipples behind.

One thing I'm afraid of is not taking advantage of opportunities. I feel like these are kind of gifts.

Never listen to accounts of the frailty of others; and if anyone should complain to you of another, humbly ask him not to speak about him at all.

My thinking is very flexible, and I hope that it will remain flexible and creative as long as biology permits me to think and that I will remain a rebel all my life.

You cannot cut your way to deficit reduction.
