My mother writes quotes she likes in the back of each journal.
Here are some from her brown 1998-2000 journal.
"In music's sweet harmony, I have all the proof I need of God."(Pat Conray)
"Do we receive Scripture by faith or do we receive it just as a good word?"(radio)
"Sympathy is your pain in my heart."(anonymous child-(God's Abundance-Miller))
"For nails would not have held the God Man fast to the Cross had not love held Him there."(from "A Book of Days"~Wright)
"Paul never in his life forgot the sheer lunatic joy and astonishment of that moment. He was blind as a bat for three days afterwards, but he made it to Damascus anyway and was baptized on the spot. He was never the same again, and neither, in a way, was the world."(Frederick Buechner)
"It was not God's intention for Adam to be humanly alone, even if he was spiritually fulfilled. Even though Adam had an unhindered relationship to the fulness of God, there was a sense in which he was not complete without a trusted relationship to another human being."
(Joseph Stowell, "Coming Home")
G.K.Chesterton was asked by a reporter, "What would you do if the risen Christ were at this very moment standing behind you?"
Chesterton looked the reporter squarely in the eye and said, "He is."
