Some Great Quotes
On Passion:
Genuine passion swells to take in all of life -- the total package, the whole enchilada.
The more you understand about why you take up spance on this planet, the
more you need the inner fire of passion to live out that purpose.
Don't say, "Okay, folks, let's get passionate about what we do." Instead, say, "We
should only do those things we can get passionate about."
Father, make of me a crisis man. Bring those I contact to decision. Let me not
be amilepost on a single road; make me a fork, that men
must turn one way or another upon facing Christ in me. --Jim Elliot
"I can't not do this." That's the power of passion in the human soul.

not. --Jeremiah 20:9

I am trying here to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him:
"I'm ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don't accept His claim to be God." That is the one thing
we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things
Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic
. . . or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice.
Either this man was, and is, the Son of God, or else a madman or something
worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him
as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God.
But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great
human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to. --C.S. Lewis
Just for Fun:
Life is like a box of chocolates; you always get the nasty ones.
Everyone brings joy to a room; some when they enter, and some when they leave.
Success is only how long you keep people from knowing you're a failure. --Garth Brooks.
