"Margaret is everyone's Grandma at our church. She radiates love. Her body is losing it's fight against time, but there is beauty that the slick fashion magazines know nothing of. Grandma Margaret is one of the most beautiful women I've ever met."- notes from David's sketchbook, December 2002

"There are men who work from morning till night with much pride, who would be better off were they strapped in a chair, and forced to meditate for a time. I firmly believe that memory work, a lot of it, takes the place of such a drastic measure."- John F. Carlson

"Remember the great Sebastian Bach, who spent twenty seven years at St. Thomas church in Leipzig, not striving for greatness, but simply getting ready for Sunday."- Michael Card

"“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged. They always say, ‘Do it again’; and the grown-up person does it again until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotonony. It is possible that God says every morning, ‘do it again’ to the sun; and every evening, ‘Do it again’ to the moon. It may not be automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.”
"- - G.K. Chesterton
