"It's normal to hurt...it's possible to hope." - Jerome

"God knows that you can stand that trial; He would not give it to you if you could not. It is His trust in you that explains the trials of life, how ever bitter they may be. God knows our strength, and He measures it to the last inch; and a trial was never given to any man that was greater than that man's strength, through God, to bear it."

- Mrs. Charles E. Cowman, Streams in the Desert

"Life is complicated, but God gave us the Holy Spirit to empower us for messy situations just like this one."

- Melissa Moore Fitzpatrick

"Our children are loaned, not given to us, by God. We do our best to raise them to fear and love the Lord, but eventually we have to give them back to Him. How they respond to God is not a total reflection on us. We do our best to be faithful, but we can't make their commitment to God for them."

- A Seattle based Pastor

"Were a man's wound is, that is where his genius will be. Wherever the wound appears in our pshche, that is extactly where we will give our major gift to the community."

God is good and purposes good in our lives in and through our pain. Jesus' Good News is for broken lives, for those who have no one else to put them back together again." - Gene Bourland

"I know God won't give me more than I can handle. I just wish he didn't trust me so much." - Mother Theresa

"Spiritual voltage can be generated by the tension of seeing deep needs, getting beyond our own troubles, and becoming part of the solutions." - DannyMorris

"Look fear in the face...you gain strength, courage, and confidence...you must do the thing you think you cannot do." - Eleanor Roosevelt

"Life is not just a few years to spend in self-indulgence and career advancement. It is a privilege, a responsibility, a stewardship to be lived according to a much higher calling."

- Elizabeth Dole
