"Only you can decide if a relationship depletes or empowers you. But it's not a question to answer quickly. You can't know the truth about your relationships until you deal with your own wounds, until you bury and leave behind all the things from the past you're still dragging around."

You can wash your feet and spend the night and then go on your way early in the morning.” “No,” they answered,...

"It's very dangerous to put your whole life into someone else's hands. You are the only one you're going to have for a lifetime. All other relationships will end. So how can you be the best loving, unconditional, no-nonsense caregiver to yourself?" (page 51) The Gift: 12 Lessons to Save Your Life by Dr. Edith Eger.

"To remain oneself in a world that pushes for conformity takes courage. It takes courage as well as temperance to be restrained in a world of excess, where we attack and mock those who don't indulge in the pleasure we have rationalized and the passions we have excused in ourselves."

GENESIS 3 The Fall 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” 2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, o...

"Losing is not always up to us... but being a loser is. Being a quitter is. That's on us.

REVELATION 13 The Beast out of the Sea 1 The dragon stood on the shore of the sea. And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. It had ten horns and seven heads, with ten crowns on its horns, and on each head a blasphemous name. 2 The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authorit...

"We don't get anywhere in this life without work. But we can get somewhere magical when we do the kind of work that doesn't even feel like work. When we follow the excitement that gets us into the harness, that gets us out in the fields, when we follow the urge to get moving and get at it. Decided who you want to be, the Stoics commands us, and then do that work. " Ryan Holiday in Discipline is De...

REVELATION 6 The Seals 1 I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” 2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. 3 When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come...

REVELATION 4 The Throne in Heaven 1 After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” 2 At once I was in the Spirit, and there before me was a throne in heaven with someone sitting on it. 3 And the one who sat there had the appearance o...

"Character,' de Gaulle reflected at the end of his life, is above all the ability to disregard insults or abandonment by one's own people. One must be willing to lose everything.

JUDE 1 A Call to Persevere 17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. 20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and...

"Are there risks? Of course. It's not unreasonable to be worried about them. But there is no chance of success if you do nothing, if you don't even try. No one can guarantee safe passage in life, nothing precludes the possibility of failing or dying. But if you don't go? Well, you ensure failure and suffer a different kind of death. Later, you're going to wish you did something. We always do. Whic...

1 JOHN 1 Light and Darkness, Sin and Forgiveness 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, pu...

2 PETER 1 Prophecy of Scripture 12 So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. 13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, 14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort to see that after my d...

"The path of least resistance is a terrible teacher. We can't afford to shy away from the things that intimidate us. We don't need to take our weaknesses for granted. Are you okay being alone? Are you strong enough to go a few more rounds if it comes to that? Are you comfortable with challenges? Does uncertainty bother you? How does pressure feel? Because these things will happen to you." The Obst...

1 PETER 4 Living for God 1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin. 2 As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God. 3 For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do—living in debauchery, lust, drunk...
