"... no money, no church service, no eulogy, no funeral procession no matter how elaborate, can remove the legacy of a mean spirit" (Verghese, CUTTING FOR STONE).
Beth Moore, Stepping Up: A Journey Through the Psalms of Ascent
"Bringing m complaint before God is much more effective than dumping it on other people" (20).
"I'm weary of living/working continually around people who thrive on drama" (21).
At no time does God abdicate my guardianship to an angel alone, regardless of how mighty" (25).
"We are not presented with a functional god who will help us out of jams or an entertainment god who will lighten our tedious hours. We are presented with the God of exodus and Easter, the God of Sinai and Calvary.... The moment I look up to God, not over or down at Him, I am in the posture of servitude" (45).
