Fenders of the Faith

Next time you think you're perfect, try walking on water.

Minds are like parachutes: they only work when open.

Eat well, stay fit, and die anyway.

Sow justice, reap peace.

When the last trumpet sounds … I'm outta here.

Marriage … is finding that one special person you can annoy the rest of your life.

Caution: Driver under the influence of children.

Get involved … the world is run by people who show up.

Come to Jesus.
Keep your distance.
(two bumper stickers on the same car, as reported by Paul Harvey)

If it's not a baby, you're not pregnant.

—Maggie Kuhn

Recycle. Ride your bike.

We're all dysfunctional; get over it.

I'm not tense; I'm just terribly, terribly alert.

Adrenaline is my drug of choice.

Normal people worry me.

—Mother Teresa

Living for God No regrets

When all else fails, lower your standards.

Who would lead must follow truth.

If you're living like there is no God, you'd better be right!

Do your best, then sleep in peace . …God is awake.
