| Interests | "You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.' And, 'Love your neighbor as yourself." + "Jesus comes not for the super-spiritual, but for the wobbly and the weak-kneed who know they don't have it all together, and who are not too proud to accept the handout of amazing grace. As we glance up, we are astonished to find the eyes of Jesus open with wonder, deep with understanding, and gentle with compassion." - Brennan Mannan, The Ragamuffin Gospel*** + "Inaction is an action. Silence is indifference. Justice requires action and a voice." - Judge Rosemarie Aquilina (From The Nassar Trial)*** + He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it. He who accepts evil without protesting against it is really cooperating with it." - Martin Luther King, Jr.*** + "Silence in the face of evil is itself evil. God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act." - Dietrich Bonhoeffer*** + "Those who you allow into your inner circle must be companions of trust, honor, duty, integrity, and courage. You must know they are with you in war and peace." - Rick Hawkins*** + "Once you’ve survived through a certain trial once, you realize it doesn’t have the power to stop your destiny, no matter how severe the trial may be. Once you've lost something you thought you couldn’t live without, only to find that God Himself will sustain you, it gives you faith to move forward after the next setback. And the next, and the next." ~ Steven Furtick |

The first time you had your shoes taken off - how surprised were you to see that you still had toes?
Mark 2:16-18 (NLT) "When the teachers of religious law who were Pharisees saw him eating with tax collectors & other sinners, they asked his disciples, “Why does he eat with such scum?” When Jesus heard this, he told them, “Healthy people don’t need a doctor—sick people do. I have come to call not those who think they are righteous, but those who know they are sinners."
