Sunday Inspiration: I Have One Life

I have one life and one chance to make it count for something… My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I am, whenever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference.
—Jimmy Carter

Sunday Inspiration: Humility

If we wish to acquire humility, we must ask God to send us someone who will offend us.

Sunday Inspiration: Love Has Got to Stop Whispering

Hate has talked so loudly for so long. Greed has talked so loudly for so long. Liars have talked so loudly for so long. Love has got to stop whispering.
—Marianne Williamson

Sunday Inspiration: Appreciation

I believe that appreciation is a holy thing—that when we look for what’s best in a person we happen to be with at the moment, we’re doing what God does all the time. So in loving and appreciating our neighbor, we’re participating in something sacred.
—Fred Rogers

Dead of Night Interior Signed Off!

Ask me a question, and I’ll answer it in an upcoming post.

The night gets darker on July 1.

Sunday Inspiration: True Heroism

True heroism is remarkably sober, very undramatic. It is not the urge to surpass all others at whatever cost, but the urge to serve others, at whatever cost.
—Arthur Ashe

Sunday Inspiration: Learning and Studying

Perhaps the greatest of all pedagogical fallacies is the notion that a person learns only the particular thing he is studying at the time.
—John Dewey

Sunday Inspiration: Sitting

Sitting is a gift. It’s a gift that brings clarity about the bigger picture of life and peace in your bones.
—Elizabeth Hagan

So…
