"Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood for it alone is the free expression of what is in a childs soul.â€â€¢ â€œPlay is the highest level of child development . . . It gives . . . joy, freedom, contentment, inner and outer rest, peace with the world . . . The plays of childhood are the germinal leaves of all later life.â€â€¢ â€œChildren are like tiny flowers; they are varied and need care, but each is beautiful alone and glorious when seen in the community of peers."

-- Friedrich Frobel

“The amazing thing is that throughout Scripture and history it seems God has chosen the most seemingly unlikely and unqualified people to fulfill his plan and purpose on the earth. Most often, the response of those people has been to insist on their own unworthiness. And if they donâ€™t-the people around them may do so, loudly and shrilly. And therein lies a danger: If we allow other people to tell us what we are and are not qualified to do, we will limit what God wants to do with us.”
“Here, in memory, we live and die.”
“I wonder how many tears the ocean has swallowed, how much of the ocean is actually made of tears.”
