Our experiences are the building blocks of the future hewn out of the granite of the present.

It would do me well to realize that the path that has led me to where I am was mapped by those who taught me and paved by what they taught me. Therefore, if God is not my teacher and His truth is not my topic I will find myself where I don’t want to be, having trod a path I didn’t want to take.

When I find that stubbornness continually overrides common sense regardless of the logic of my argument, it seems that the only effective solution is to tell them to go ahead and stick their finger in the socket. And what I find is that what my argument failed to solve, electricity does quite nicely.

Instead of the weight that sinks us, consequences are often the life preserver that saves us.

Sometimes consequences are building blocks fashioned of granite when successes are shaped of clay.

Consequences are not the spoiler that kills my dreams. Rather, they are the lessons that enhance my dreaming.
