“When we're not looking seems to be the time when God finds the most delight in surprising us”
Mona Hodgson, Too Rich for a Bride

“I'm not so sure reading Scripture will keep us from having to face trouble as much as it will focus our attention on our Help in those times. The Bible's full of stories about good folks with troubles. Good folks. God-fearin' folks.”
