Yielding to the lust of the flesh will draw us away from the will of God. -- Neil T. Anderson, The Bondage Breakers
“I was born to fight devils and factions. It is my business to remove obstructions, to cut down thorns, to fill up quagmires, and to open and make straight paths.” -- Martin Luther
"No man steps in the same river twice." -- Heraclitus
Living in a transitional age is scary: It’s falling apart, it’s unknowable, it doesn’t cohere, it doesn’t make sense, it’s all mystery again, and we can’t put order in it. This is the postmodern panic. It lies beneath most of our cynicism, our anxiety, and our pandemic violence. -- Richard Rohr, The Wisdom Pattern
Faith allows us to trust that God is in the suffering and the trials: “I thank you, Jesus, for what you want to teach me in this.” -- Richard Rohr, The Wisdom Pattern
Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling some five balls in the air -- work, family, health, friends, spirit, etc. You're keeping all of these in the air. You'll soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, or even shattered. They will never be the same. -- Brian Dyson, former Coca-Cola CEO
