Quiet
“Every day we slaughter our finest impulses. That is why we get a heartache when we read those lines written by the hands of a ‘master’ and recognize them as our own, as the tender shoots which we stifled because we lacked the faith to believe in our own powers, our own criterion of truth…
Doubt and Limits
“If you are going to doubt something, doubt your limits.” ~Don Ward Galatians 6:7, “Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.” (NLT) P.E.A.C.E. Jay@EagleLaunch.com
Acorns or Oaks?
“Our ordinary mind always tries to persuade us that we are nothing but acorns and that our greatest happiness will be to become bigger, fatter, shinier acorns; but that is of interest only to pigs.

Beyond Capability
“How often in life we complete a task that was beyond the capability of the person we were when we started it.” ~Robert Brault Nuff said. Proverbs 13:12, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a dream fulfilled is a tree of life.” (NLT)
