Dear God, Please send to me the spirit of Your peace. Then send, dear Lord, the spirit of peace from me to all the world. Amen.
I've been saying for a couple of years now that people need to let God out of the Sunday morning box, that He doesn't want to just be with you for an hour or two on Sunday morning and then put back in His box to sit there until you have an emergency, but He wants to invade your Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
When I was playing before I retired, I never really understood the appreciation and the respect that people gave me. People had treated me like a god or something, and that was very embarrassing.
God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.
It's God's will for you to live in prosperity instead of poverty. It's God's will for you to pay your bills and not be in debt.
Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.
God will not look you over for medals degrees or diplomas, but for scars.
But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That's what I strive to do, that's what I pray to do every day.
There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.
I distrust those people who know so well what God wants them to do, because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
