Here are a few quotes that I found interesting!!


Don't Let Yesterday Run Today
- Church Sign In Battleground Indiana

We learn wisdom from failure much more than success. We often discover what we will do, by finding out what we will not do. - Samuel Smiles


Try not to become a man of success but a man of value.
- Albert Einstein


Don't waste your life in doubts and fears: spend yourself on the work before you, well assured that the right performance of this hour's duties will be the best preparation for the hours or ages that follow it.
- Ralph Waldo Emerson


If you can imagine it, you can achieve it; if you can dream it, you can become it.
- William Arthur Ward

the number of breaths we take,
but by the moments
that take our breath away.

We are not human beings on a spiritual journey. We are spiritual beings on a human journey.

Some of my favorite quotes are included in my signature.

Although, I doubt they're what you're looking for.

"It does not require great learning to be a Christian, and to be convinced of the truth of the Bible. It requires only an honest heart and a willingness to obey God."
~William Barnes

"It isn't our position, but our disposition that makes us happy."
~Author Unknown

In God's world, for those who are in earnest there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain."
~F.W. Robertson

I read this last night at a friends house and thought it was neat.

I could not say I believe. I know! I have had the experience of being grabbed by something that is stronger than myself, something that people call God!
- Carl Jung

I love those ones. Especially the last one. I think I heard that on Oprah one day a while back. I thought that was so good when I heard it on there. And so true too.

"He's so focused on where he's going, he doesnt have time to worry about where he is."

"You can't undo the past, but if you let it, it can undo you."

- Excerpts from my devotional for today. These two lines screamed out at me when I read through it. The devotional talks about being prepared and tells the story of the ant and how he prepares for winter when it's still summer because he's always looking to the future. And also how he can carry a piece of bread much larger than himself. Much like the problems we carry that we don't think we're strong enough for, but thanks be to God, we are strong enough for anything He gives us! :)

Something I found floating around the web late last year:

One night I had a wondrous dream,
One set of footprints there was seen,
The footprints of my precious Lord,
But mine were not along the shore.

But then some stranger prints appeared,
And I asked the Lord, "What have we here?"
Those prints are large and round and neat,
"But Lord they are too big for feet."

"My child," He said in somber tones,
"For miles I carried you alone.
I challenged you to walk in faith,
But you refused and made me wait."

"You disobeyed, you would not grow,
The walk of faith, you would not know.
So I got tired, I got fed up,
and there I dropped you on your butt."

"Because in life, there comes a time,
when one must fight, and one must climb.
When one must rise and take a stand,
or leave their butt prints in the sand."

"You Can not be the super hero God wants you to be if all you think about is chocolate!" - ALfred (LarryBoy and the Bad Apple)

it poses the question.."what is distracting you from becoming God's superhero?"

I'm so sorry. I meant to reply and not edit Labby. Thanks for the chuckle, though, Steve. It caused a real "LOL"! By the way, did you go to Creation West?

"In order to b e a child of God, we have to change; that's what Jesus said. We have to admit we can't get there the way we are and be willing to humble ourselves and change...

Remember that God's love for you is absolutely steadfast, and unlike humans, He does not give or take away His love based on your performance or your qualifications. It will not take God by surprise when you discover an area in your life that is less than what it should be. He knows it already, and even knowing all there is to know about you, His love and concern for you have not budged one inch"

It could always suck more. -- from the people who brought you the Rejection Hotline

Always look on the bright side of life. -- Monty Python (Life of Brian)

Pray that there's intelligent life somewhere up in space, because there's bugger-all down here on Earth. -- Monty Python (Meaning of Life)

Again, my "inspirational" quotes tend to be a little off-beat.
