On Growth

Man's mind and spirit grow with the space in which they are allowed to operate. —Krafft A. Ehricke, rocket pioneer

The man who can drive himself further once the effort gets painful is the one who will win.—Roger Bannister

Don't be afraid; just believe. —Jesus

In our dreams we are able to fly . . . and that is a remembering of how we were meant to be. —Madeleine L'Engle,

The sea is dangerous and its storms terrible, but these obstacles have never been sufficient reason to remain ashore. . . . Unlike the mediocre, intrepid spirits seek victory over those things that seem impossible. . . . It is with an iron will that they embark on the most daring of all endeavors. . . . to meet the shadowy future without fear and conquer the unknown.
—Unknown

When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen. There will be something solid for us to stand on or we will be taught to fly. —Patrick Overton

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.— Isaiah 43:18-19.

Heart for Hurting People

I saw a website today about how a ministry "has a real heart for hurting people."

Hmmmm.

I want to hurt people too sometimes, but I didn't know THAT could be a ministry!

Have I found my true calling?
