“In order to write about life first you must live it.”

“Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love.”

“She has fire in her soul and grace in her heart.”

““For no one is abandoned by the Lord forever. Though he brings grief, he also shows compassion because of the greatness of his unfailing love.””

“A woman of true beauty offers others the grace to be and the room to become.”

“Never be afraid of joy. Your bones have the love of the Maker of the Universe etched into their marrow. They know a joy our hearts do not. So, let them dance.”

“God wants us to know that when we have Him, we have everything.”

“I don’t know why we long so for permanence, why the fleeting nature of things so disturbs. With futility, we cling to the old wallet long after it has fallen apart. We visit and revisit the old neighborhood where we grew up, searching for the remembered grove of trees and the little fence. We clutch our old photographs. In our churches and synagogues and mosques, we pray to the everlasting and eternal. Yet, in every nook and cranny, nature screams at the top of her lungs that nothing lasts, that it is all passing away. All that we see around us, including our own bodies, is shifting and evaporating and one day will be gone. Where are the one billion people who lived and breathed in the year 1800, only two short centuries ago?”
