T urn a set-back into a  come-back. -Billy Brewer  BUT he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you,  for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore,  I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses,    SO THAT the power of Christ may rest upon me. - 2 Corinthians 12:9

O bstacles are those frightening things you see   when you take your eye off the target. -Curt Carlson  BUT one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind, and  straining forward to what lies ahead,    I press on toward the goal for the prize      of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 3:13-14

V ision is the art of seeing the invisible. -Jonathan Swift  So we do not lose heart......for this light momentary  affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory   beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things    that are seen, BUT to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient,  BUT the things that are unseen are eternal. -2 Corinthians 4:16-18

The measure of who we are is   what we do with what we have.  ~Vince Lombardi But when you give to the needy,  do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,     so that your giving may be in secret.  And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.     Matthew 6:3-4

BUT in the mud and scum of things,  there always, always something sings. -Ralph Waldo Emerson  A nd now my head shall be lifted up above my  enemies all around me, and I will offer in   His tent sacrifices with shouts of joy;    I will sing and make melody to the Lord. -Psalm 27:6

Y esterday is not ours to recover,   BUT tomorrow is ours to win or lose. -Lyndon Johnson  M ark the blameless and behold the upright,    for there is a future for the man of peace. -Psalm 37:37
