"Worrying does not take away tomorrow's troubles~
it takes away today's peace." ~unknown

“Love is the key.
 Joy is love singing. 
Peace is love resting. 
Patience is love enduring. 
Kindness is love's truth. 
Goodness is love's character.
Faithfulness is love's habit. 
Gentleness is love's self-forgetfulness. 
Self-control is love being the reins”
― Donald Grey Barnhouse

Quote from Brennan Manning

The Creation of Adam  (Michelangelo)

"I want neither a terrorist spirituality that keeps me in a perpetual state of fright about being in right relationship with my heavenly Father nor a sappy spirituality that portrays God as such a benign teddy bear that there is no aberrant behavior or desire of mine that he will not condone. I want a relationship with the Abba of Jesus, who is infinitely compassionate with my brokenness and at the same time an awesome, incomprehensible, and unwieldy Mystery."
