Detours and Bumps

"Life  is filled with all kinds of detours and bumps in the road. You think  you know where you're going and how long it will take to get there, but  inevitably something will throw off your plans. Those are the moments  when you need to pause and soak in everything happening, for it could be  that there is some great blessing in the detours. Some of the most  memorable moments in life are the ones you did not expect..."

By Our Fruit

"Jesus never suggested that we should evaluate the health of His people by how much power they wielded or how much privilege they amassed. Rather, Jesus insisted that His followers would be identifiable as His followers by their fruit."

- Philip Kenneson

A Message About Living

"Christ did not appoint professors, but followers. If Christianity...is not reduplicated in the life of the person expounding it, then he does not expound Christianity, for Christianity is a message about living and can only be expounded by being realized in men's lives."

- Soren Kierkegaard

Live the Question

"Have patience with everything that remains unsolved in your heart. Try to love the questions themselves, like locked room and like books written in a foreign language. Do not now look for the answers... At present you need to live the question. Perhaps you will gradually, without even noticing it, find yourself experiences the answer, some distant day."

- Rainer Rilke

Enjoy the Roses

"One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today."

- Dale Carnegie
