The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.-Mother Teresa
"If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." - C.S. Lewis
"Cultural engagement is crucial, but we must remember that authentic engagement is never condescending. It's not 'top down.' It's shared knowing marked by equanimity. In the most intimate of dances, there is no leader and no follower. Instead there is a gracious mutuality, a learned sensitivity to the movement, personality, and mood of the other. If we are truly going to incarnate the gospel in this new world, we as Christ-followers would do well to learn the spiritual rhythms of non-Christians and dance a dance that is, first of all, fully human. As we seek humble engagement instead of power, we will earn the right to draw others into the subtle rhythms of grace." - Sally Morgenthaler
"Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies." - Mother Teresa
