Dogs Are Quick To Show Their Affection. They Never Pout, They Never Bear A Grudge. They Never Run Away From Home When Mistreated. They Never Complain About Their Food. They Never Gripe About The Way The House Is Kept. They Are Chivalrous And Courageous, Ready To Protect Their Mistress At The Risk Of Their Lives.

I Don't Think There Is Anything Wrong With A Man Who Wants To Give Credit To The Lord, But I Don't Think The Team With The Most Christians On It Is Necessarily Going To Win. The Lord May Be Helping Their Characters And Souls, But I Don't Think He's Any More For The Dodgers Than He Is For The Braves. More Than Being Concerned With Who's Going To Win The Super Bowl, I Feel The Lord Is Probably More Concerned That They Might Find A Day Other Than Sunday To Play It On.

It Seemed Like A Perfect Way To Make Some Money For College. And Being Away From My Parents And Learning To Make My Own Way Gave Me Self Confidence.

Self Confidence

God Will Not Force Himself Upon Us Against Our Will. If We Want His Love, We Need To Believe In Him. We Need To Make A Definite, Positive Act Of Commitment And Surrender To The Love Of God. No One Can Do It For Us.

People Are The Stocks Into Which We Are To Invest Our Time ... The Best Of All Investments You Can Make Is To Help People Come To Know Jesus As Their Lord And Savior.
