We all want progress, but if you're on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.

I think old, or old fashioned, people should be very careful not to assume that young or 'emancipated' people are corrupt whenever they are (by the old standard) improper; and, in return, that young people should not call their elders prudes or puritans because they do not easily adopt the new standard.

If I have grown enough in life…I can freely select the responses that seem most appropriate to the situation – anger or patience; toughness or gentleness; clear confrontation or warm, caring support. I want to be able to respond in any of these. I am “response-able” for choosing my responses to you.

My dad tried to get across to me in grade school that I should never try to be better than someone else. Now if you just stop there, it is kind of crazy advice. But he didn't stop there. He said to learn from others and never cease trying to be the best that you can be. That is under your control: the other isn't. So don't worry about being better, worry about being the best you can be. Part of being your best is accepting your own mistakes and learning from them. But do not be afraid to fail.

Drink in the stillness! Linger as long as you can in the presence of your loving Shepherd. His word will restore you as the "paths of righteousness" become clear. Even if this day is shadowed by fear or uncertainty, He is with you, as close as your heartbeat, as close as your next breath. Sing your praise to Him! The worship of God anoints our days and causes dry cups to overflow. (See Psalm 23:1-6)

Pride is a spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.

True integrity implies you do what is right when no one is looking or when everyone is compromising. (See Nehemiah 7:21)
