“Do you grow straight up like a redwood to the sun
in choosing your heart and not list like a weed
in the wind to the fads of the day?”
― Mark LeClair DeGange, Be Still, Behold and Dance to the Divine: Making Daily Acts a Heartfelt Spiritual Practice

Craig D. Lounsbrough
“Although it might state otherwise, I don’t think that the world finds anything compelling that’s always shifting to adjust to wherever the world’s going. I think that what the world finds compelling is something so indisputably enthralling that the world is always shifting to adjust to it. And the only thing that I know that has both the power and the character to be that enthralling is God.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough
