"The supreme test of goodness is not in the greater but in the smaller incidents of our character and practice; not what we are when standing in the searchlight of public scrutiny, but when we reach the firelight flicker of our homes; not what we are when some clarion-call rings through the air, summoning us to fight for life and liberty, but our attitude when we are called to sentry-duty in the grey morning, when the watch-fire is burning low." ---F. B. Meyer

---Bart Sayle and Surinder Kumar in Riding

"If you feel you are about to go over the edge, walk away. Take a breather. Leave the struggle for a spell. You can tackle it again tomorrow. Every battle does not have to be won today. If you go to pieces, stress wins. Refuse to lose." ---Walter Albritton

"From the first generation of Christians to the
. . . youngest generations of faithful members today, the followers of Jesus mature in faith by learning together in community. Jesus taught in community so that we would learn to discover his presence in others." ---Robert Schnase in Five Practices of Fruitful Congregations
"What we have been is an established and unchangeable fact. What we can yet become is an unlimited, boundless opportunity. Therefore, do not allow your awareness of past difficulty or failures to adversely affect your currnet and future possibilities.
