No story sits by itself. Sometimes stories meet at corners and sometimes they cover one another completely, like stones beneath a river. - Mitch Albom

When death takes your mother, it steals that word forever.

There are two stories for every life; the one you live, and the one others tell.

No. You can't work your way into heaven. Anytime you try and justify yourself with works, you disqualify yourself with works. What I do here, every day, for the rest of my life, is only my way of saying, 'Lord, regardless of what eternity holds for me, let me give something back to you. I know it doesn't even no scorecard. But let me make something of my life before I go.. and then, Lord, I'm at your mercy.
