"Without pain, how would we know what true joy feels like?"
- Tim Hiller
"Don't leave the classroom of pain without gathering wisdom from its instruction."
"How one responds in these dire circumstances says a lot about one's faith and the strength of one's beliefs."
"Being an example to others is a requirement of following Jesus, even though none of us will ever be a perfect example."
"We all are striving for something every minute of the day, whether we realize it or not."
"We usually don't realize the thing that is defining our identity until that thing is taken away."
"Humility is a peace that accepts one's strengths and limitations."
"...life is a continual process of learning, working hard, rising up, and then being humbled. Sliding over, then sliding over again. And again."
"A humble person is comfortable in their own skin."
"...a disciplined pursuit of less will keep us focused and make the greatest impact."
