Loving Ourselves "God is crazy about you!" - Mark Lowry "It really doesn't matter if the person who hurt you deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a gift you give yourself. You have things to do and you want to move on." - Gordon Atkinson "He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree." - Roy L. Smith "Whatever 'sins' may be haunting you, Jesus has already become them. This is astonishing. It's scandalous by religious standards. But this is the good news. The Cross is like one giant vacuum cleaner. It absorbs the radioactive fallout of the sins of the whole human race. Rather than repelling God from you, it attracted Christ TO you! So ease up on yourself. It's your ticket of entry into the mind-blowing grace of God." - Reverend J "The happiest people don't necessarily have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything." "You work... so you can play." - Mark Lowry "We cannot do great things on this earth, we can only do little things with great love." - Mother Teresa "I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude... When my attitudes are right, there's no challenge too great for me." - Charles R. Swindoll "You're not failures, you're learners." - John Osteen "Laugh at yourself and at life. Not in the spirit of derision or whining self-pity but as a remedy, a miracle drug, that will ease your pain, cure your depression and help you to put in perspective that seemingly-terrible defeat and worry with laughter at your predicaments, thus freeing your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come." - Og Mandino "Love like you've never been hurt, work like you don't need the money and dance like nobody's watching." "I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And that which I can do, by the grace of God, I will do." - Dwight L. Moody "To dream of the person you'd like to be is a waste to the person you are." "Your attitude determines your altitude." - John Maxwell "If you think you're too small to make a difference, you've obviously never been in bed with a mosquito." - Michelle Walker "The greatest of all faults is to imagine you have none." - Thomas Carlyle "Too many of us have been inoculated with small doses of Christianity which keep us from catching the real thing." - Leslie D. Weatherhead "We would worry less about what people think of us, if we knew how seldom they did!" "His huff arrived and he departed in it." - Alexander Woolcott "Going to church does not make you a Christian any more than going to McDonalds makes you a hamburger." "I expect to pass through this world but once; any good thing, therefore, that I can do, let me do it now ... for I shall not pass this way again." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "Vain the ambition of Kings Who seek by trophies and dead things To leave a living name behind, And weave but nets to catch the wind." - John Webster "If you laugh a lot, when you get older your wrinkles will be in the right places." - Andrew Mason "If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price." "What lies behind us and what lies before us are small matter compared to what lies within us." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "The older I get, the better I was." "Always live in the precious present." - Tubby Smith, Head Basketball Coach, University of Kentucky "The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates "The unlived life is not worth examining." - Carl Woody "Lead your life so you won't be ashamed to sell the family parrot to the town gossip." - Will Rogers Jr. "If you always do what you've always done, You'll always be what you've always been." - Josh McDowell
