This perfect when you're bleary-eyed and sleep deprived sorting through the last few minutes of work.
-Greetings from Cali...
those are some good quotes. i especially like the last one from Zinzendorf. i've never heard of him, but that is a great statement of faith. reminds me of the book of Hebrews. there are some pretty good quotes from that book, too.
keep on pressing on.

Hi Matt!
I agree Kent. I just found the last quote the other day when looking for inspiring mission quotes to recruit for HTI's MET Program. Hebrews does have some good ones, too (ones that come to mind are 3:13, 10:25, and the ends of chapters 2 and 4 I think). One more month more or less until break!
Good stuff! I particularly like the Victor Hugo quote. It's one of those that I more or less know, but can never remember to whom it is attributed.
"Many lonely people fail to realize that friendships have to be cared for and cultivated like plants in a garden. If you think you should be loved just because you are you, you missed your vocation. You should have been God."
