“Sometimes it takes losing our way before we can discover who we really are, and to learn that God is always waiting for us to come home. ~page 94”
Myra Johnson, The Rebel's Return

“I realized nobody but God knows what tomorrow will hold. Each day is a gift, and I'm pretty sure God doesn't want our worries about what may or may not happen in the unforeseen future to keep us from savoring every moment of the life He's given us today. ~Samuel (page 186)”
Myra Johnson, The Rebel's Return

“Nothing about life is easy, Rosy-girl, but the good Lord never promised us it would be. All we can do is keep trying and trusting and hoping.”
Myra Johnson, One Imperfect Christmas

“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around these two things that I'm aware of, no shortcut.”
Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft

“Insanity is doing the same thing, over and over again, but expecting different results.”
Narcotics Anonymous
