This is good because… If you instead look for ways to be grateful for everything in your life, it not only raises your frequency, but it allows you to grow by opening you up to the lesson.

Meanwhile, the truth is, the only question you ever need consider when making decisions about your life are: 1. Is this something i want to be, do, or have? 2. Is this going to take me in the direction I want to go (not should go)? 3. Is this going to screw over anybody else in the process?

Good words., I replied. But deeds must prove it also.

For even sheep do not vomit up their grass and show to the shepherds how much they have eaten; but when they have internally digested the pasture, they produce externally wool and milk. Do you also show not your theorems to the uninstructed, but show the acts which come from their digestion.

However great may be the work for which we are responsible, we will always do well if we pause to spend time in sacred praise.

Whether we're happy with our circumstances or not, giving God praise is so important.

To me, writing is prayer. I pray all the time.

I love inventive food, but I want the classic dishes to taste like how I remember them. I get a little bummed out when there is too much fancy stuff going on and it doesn't resemble the original dish at all.

Knowledge without application eventually becomes boring and unfulfilling

When a person has fallen in love with God, both his ethical commitments and aesthetical pleasures become focused and satisfying. But when the religious is lost, ethics devolves into, first, a fussy legalism, and then is swallowed up completely by the lust for personal satisfaction.

There is no such thing as gratitude unexpressed. If it is unexpressed, it is plain, old-fashioned ingratitude.

The purpose of life is to have a life with purpose.
