Here are a couple quotes I have.
This is one of my favorites, not my own, one I have copied from Priscilla, a teaching leader at Bible Study Fellowship. " Life is good and getting better!" Which is better than my old quote, " Life's a bitch and then you die." Anyway, that's the history for the name of my blog.
Another favorite is a quote from Denis Haack at Ransomfellowship.com talking about things he fears.
"More than anything I fear that my family will be fragmented with unresolved tensions, many due to my foolishness or wickedness as a parent. I fear growing old, becoming a burden so that my final years are a return to infancy. I fear loving the biblical Story so much, in all the ways it satisfies my yearning for meaning and truth and beauty, that I fail to simply love God. I fear the myriad regrets from my past will strangle my ability to fully know and demonstrate grace. I fear my introversion will keep me from deepening relationships I hold dear. I fear these things happening and being aware of it too late to may any difference.
I find reason does little to dislodge fear. Unhurried conversations, meals in safe places, trusted fellow pilgrims, the quiet beauty of art, metaphor, and story--these are stronger cures."
