Slingshots Quotes

• Leave safety behind. Put your body on the line. Stand before the people you fear and speak your mind - even if your voice shakes. When you least expect it, someone may actually listen to what you have to say. Well-aimed slingshots can topple giants.

• What has God given you? Moses had a stick, David had a slingshot, and Paul had a pen. Mother
  Teresa possessed a love for the poor; Billy Graham, a gift for preaching; and Joni Eareckson
  Tada, a disability. What did they have in common? A willingness to let God use whatever they
  had, even when it didn't seem very useful. If you will assess what you have to offer in terms
  of your time, your treasure, and your talents, you will have a better understanding of how you
  might uniquely serve.
