like trusted midwives are saying,
'welcome this pain.

Or are you going to say you're too busy doing your job? — Vijay Singh

It will be an ill day when our brethren take to bragging and boasting and call it 'testimony to the victorious Christian life.'

If you would not stop to look at me, but look whither I am looking, and farther, then my education could not dispense with your company. — Henry David Thoreau
The crime of ingratitude has not yet stained, and I trust never will stain, our national character.

To the welfare of Thomas Paine, the Americas are not, nor can they be, indifferent. — James Monroe
Worry is anti-trust. If you're worried, you don't trust something: your kids, their friends, strangers, the church, even God. Can He take care of your children? Certainly.

Worry tests your trust, so hand your children to God and let Him babysit your babies when you're not around. He's pretty good at it! — Max Lucado
