Life is change.  Growth is optional.    Choose wisely. -Karen Kaiser Clar Speaking the truth in love, we are to    grow up in every way into Him who is the     head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together.... makes the body    grow so that it builds itself up in love. -Ephesians 4:15-16  

Real growth comes in    small portions day by day. -Denis Waitley  I am the vine, you are the branches.    Whoever abides in me, and I in him,      he it is that bears much fruit. - John 15:5
