&ldquo;If I speak in the tongues of angels, but have not love, I&#039;m only a resounding noise , If I have the gift of knowledge, And if my faith moves mountains high, But have not love I am nothing&hellip; Though I know the One, Who holds the stars in the heavens, In the palm of His hand, If I give all I possess , To the poor and the helpless, I&#039;ll still gain nothing, Without love&hellip; Love&#039;s patient, True love is always kind, Love does not envy, Never brags, it&#039;s never proud, Slow to wrath, it keeps no records of wrongs against friends, Love forgives&hellip; It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.&rdquo; (1 Corinthians 13:1-5,7)<br /> &ldquo;If the world hates you, remember that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.&rdquo; John 15:18-19<br /> &quot;The world is not respectable; it is mortal, tormented, confused, deluded forever; but it is shot through with beauty, with love, with glints of courage and laughter; and in these the spirit blooms...&quot; ~ George Santayana

Favorite Quote:
It&rsquo;s sad when people you know become people you knew, when you can walk right past someone like they were never a big part your life, how you used to be able to talk for hours and how now you can barely even look at them. But everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go. Things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they go right. You believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart, so that better things can fall together.
