"We donâ€™t constrain our mental powers when we store new long-term memories. We strengthen them. With each expansion of our memory comes an enlargement of our intelligence.

-- Nicholas G. Carr

And no faith is so precious as that which lives and triumphs through adversity. Tested faith brings experience. You would never have believed your own weakness had you not needed to pass through trials. And you would never have known Godâ€™s strength had His strength not been needed to carry you through.”
“It's not just a question of doing what you love for a living. It's about doing what you love with love. Then your life and all be transformed.”
