Self-Portrait

"Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence."

- Unknown

Hidden Service

"Nothing disciplines the inordinate desires of the flesh like service, and nothing transforms the desires of the flesh like serving in hiddenness. The flesh whines against service but it screams against hidden service. It strains and pulls for honor and recognition."

- Richard Foster

Be Careful

"Talent is God-given; be humble. Fame is man-given; be grateful. Conceit is self-given; be careful."

- John Wooden

Why Do You Obey?

“Elder brothers obey God to get things. They don’t obey God to get God himself – in order to resemble him, love him, know him and delight him. So religious and moral people can be avoiding Jesus as Savior and Lord as much as the younger brothers who say they don’t believe in God and define right and wrong for themselves.”

- A quote out of the book, The Prodigal God by Tim Keller, quoted in On The Brink of Grace by Michelle on her blog Graceful: Faith in the Everyday

Stop Looking Down

"As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you."

- C.S. Lewis
