"There is something in all of us, that we want to be able to figure everything out - we want to be able to see. We want a virtual road map that tells us 5 years from now you'll be here, 7 years you'll be here, 10 years you'll be here. We want it all outlined. We really don't like God just throwing an arrow over our heads in the field and saying, 'It is far beyond you. Just get up and follow - follow where the arrow is leading. Don't question. Don't ask. Just do what God is telling you.'" --Carter Conlon

A Good Definition of Evil
“...when good that should be there is missing from something, that is evil....Evil is, in reality, a parasite that cannot exist except as a hole in something that should be solid. In some cases, though, evil is more easily explained as a case of bad relationships”

Do Little Things Well
"If you want to be a person with a large vision, you must cultivate the habit of doing the little things well. That's when God puts iron in your bones! The test of my calling is not how well I do before the public on Sunday; it's how carefully I cover the bases Monday through Saturday when there's nobody to check up on me, when nobody is looking."

Prayer Shouldn't Be Complicated
"...Prayer was never intended to be a verbal marathon for only the initiated . . . no secret-code talk for the clergy or a public display of piety. None of that. Real prayer---the kind of prayer Jesus mentioned and modeled---is realistic, spontaneous, down-to-earth communication with the living Lord that results in a relief of personal anxiety and a calm assurance that our God is in full control of our circumstances...."

Don't Dwell On The Past
"Dwell not on the past. Use it to illustrate a point, then leave it behind. Nothing really matters except what you do now, in this instant of time. From this moment onward you can be an entirely different person, filled with love and understanding, ready with an outstretched hand, uplifted and positive in every thought and deed."
