Quote of the day

In zoos, along with the animals, the humanity of man is also prisoned! No cage is humane!

John Ortberg

I need to worship because without it I can forget that I have a Big God beside me and live in fear. I need to worship because without it I can forget his calling and begin to live in a spirit of self-preoccupation. I need to worship because without it I lose a sense of wonder and gratitude and plod through life with blinders on. I need worship because my natural tendency is toward self-reliance and stubborn independence.

There is something you can't fix, can't heal, or can't escape, and all you can do it trust God.
