Remember, as a believer, you are already in God’s kingdom, even if you are still standing on this earth.

We are not perfect in ourselves, but in Him we are. In the red circle of this world, there is no hope. However, because you’re living in the purple wedge, there is always His hope, power, and joy.

For believers, there is much more to existence than simply passing out of one world and into another.

If, in Him all things hold together, why would anyone ever want to be apart from Him?

If you are a Christian, especially if you are unhappy or frustrated, remind yourself frequently of the purple wedge in which you live.

Personally, I’m choosing to dwell upon the glory of the kingdom of which I am a part, even though I’m still a witness and sometimes a victim of the junk in ‘this’ world.

The best times we’ve had on earth are usually with those we love.

The trick is to teach yourself to read in small sips as well as long swallows.

You should never trust anyone who listens to Mahler before they're forty.

All men are rapists and that's all they are

There's no problem so big that whining won't make it worse.

You create shots for yourself by what you do without the ball more than what you do after you get it

Say to yourself, 'I'm here on purpose, I can accomplish anything I desire, and I do it by being in harmony with the all-pervading creative force in the universe.
