• If outside forces and culture were the reasons behind declining and non-influential churches, we would likely have no churches today.

We are not hindered by external forces; we are hindered by our own lack of commitment and selflessness.

• I decided a long time ago I would feed on the vultures until a dove came along. A pigeon. The kind of soul that didn't impede on anyone; just walked around worrying about its own business, trying to get through life without pulling everyone else down. With its own needs and selfish habits. Brave. A communicator. Intelligent. Beautiful. Soft-spoken. A creature that mates for life. Unattainable until she has a reason to trust you.
