“We have little control over the circumstances of life. We can’t control the weather or the economy, and we can’t control what other people say about or do to us. There is only one area where we have control–we can rule the kingdom inside. The heart of every problem is the problem in the heart.” — Warren Wiersbe
“Goals help you overcome short-term problems.” — Hannah More

“Has someone wronged you recently? Resist the urge to judge that person. Instead, pray that God might use you to reach the offender.” — Warren Wiersbe
“A slowness to applaud betrays a cold temper or an envious spirit.” — Hannah More
