I'd been working on my business degree for about a year when I finally got to take a popular finance course. I went to the bookstore to buy the textbook and was shocked to find out it would cost me $125. I asked how much it was worth if I sold it back at the end of the semester.
"You'll get $50," said the clerk.
"What I have found of God in Jesus Christ is so wonderful, I am eager for others to know it too - and to know Him."

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of. He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head. Then he followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.
An hour later he went to the door and I let him out.
The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.
"Saying something is NOT okay is not being any more judgmental than the person who says it is. Permissiveness doesn't negate judgment."

A fellow asked his friend why he never married.
The friend replied, "Well, I guess I just never met the right woman; I guess I've been looking for the perfect girl."
"Oh, come on now," said the fellow. "Surely you have met at least one girl that you wanted to marry."
