When we view life from God’s perspective, every hardship becomes an opportunity to trust His good purpose, fully depend on Him, and respond in a manner that glorifies and exalts Christ.

From Philippians 1:27-28:  “Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel and in no way frightened by those opposing you.  For them, this is evidence of their destruction but of your salvation.  And this is God’s doing.”

Lou Gehrig (1903-1941)

There is no room in baseball for discrimination.  It is our national pastime and a game for all.

Warren Spahn (1921-2003)

What is life, after all, but a challenge?  And what better challenge can there be than the one between the pitcher and the hitter.

Lou Gehrig played his entire career with the New York Yankees.  Nicknamed the “Iron Horse” because he played in a then-record 2,130 consecutive games, Gehrig was the Yankees first baseman for 17 seasons.  He was also a player who displayed outstanding character and integrity.  He was elected to the baseball Hall of Fame in 1939.

Pitcher Warren Spahn played 22 seasons, with all but one being with the Boston/Milwaukee Braves.  A hallmark of his career was his longevity, especially for a pitcher to play in so many seasons.  He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1973.  During World War II, he served his country in the United States Army.

Never forget, when you have lost your faith, when God is no longer real to you–go back.  Go back to the last place you saw Him.  He will be waiting for you there.

From Isaiah 30:18:  “Therefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show mercy to you.  For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.”

In life, every ending is just the start of another story.

The writer must be universal in sympathy and an outcast by nature:  only then can he see clearly.

Rather than live with reluctance, let’s live with exuberance.  Instead of fearing what’s ahead, let’s face it head-on with enthusiasm.  And because life is so terribly short, let’s do everything we can to make it sweet.

From James 4:14-15:  “Yet you do not even know what tomorrow will bring.  What is your life?  For you are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.  Instead you ought to say, ‘If the Lord wishes, we will live and do this or that.'”

We are raising our standard of living at the expense of our standard of character.

A mind which really lays hold of a subject is not easily detached from it.

Ida Tarbell (1857-1944) was an American writer and investigative journalist.  She was one of the leading muckrakers during the progressive era during the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

If I am united with Jesus Christ, I hear God by the devotion of hearing all the time.  A lily, or a tree, or a servant of God, may convey God’s message to me.

From 1 Samuel 3:10-11:  “Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’  And Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.’  Then the Lord said to Samuel, ‘See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make both ears of anyone who hears of it tingle.'”

When our top priority is to please God with our life, we can expect treasure in heaven.

From Luke 12:20-21:  “But God said to him, ‘You fool!  This very night your life is being demanded of you.  And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’  So it is with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich toward God.”

We are free to change the world and start something new in it.

Storytelling reveals meaning without committing the error of defining it.

Hannah Arendt (1906-1975) was a German-born philosopher and author.  With the help of others, she managed to escape the Holocaust, and her journey brought her to the United States in 1941.
