It is absurd to think that anything in us could have the least influence upon our election. Some say that God did foresee that such persons would believe, and therefore did choose them; so they would make the business of salvation to depend upon something in us. Whereas God does not choose us FOR faith, but TO faith. "He hath chosen us, that we should be holy" (Eph. 1:4), not because we would be holy, but that we might be holy. We are elected to boldness, not for it. — Thomas Watson

We can land on the "right" side of a controversy and keep that personified mystery of evil, called the devil, happy.

We need a prophet to boldly confront Plan B and call us back to Plan A. — Mark Batterson

Until you have entered the house of the Lord and have received all the blessings which await you there, you have not obtained everything the Church has to offer.

I watched the enormity of the clouds for several minutes. What I wanted to experience in the water, I realized, was how life of the reef was layered and intertwined. I now had many individual pieces at hand: named images, nouns. How were they related? What were the verbs? Which syntaxes were indigenous to the place? I asked a dozen knowledgeable people. No one was inclined to elaborate- or they didn't know. "Did you see the octopus?" Someone shouted after the dive. Yes, I thought, but who among us knows what it was doing? What else was THERE, just then? WHY? — Barry Lopez

A balanced intellect presupposes a harmonious growth of body, mind and soul. — Mahatma Gandhi
