“Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him.” –Booker T. Washington
Beside caddying at Forest Lake Country Club throughout our Grade School and High School years, my two brothers and I had our personal list of household chores, for which we were held accountable…there was not a lot of “helicoptering” but there were hard consequences if they were not done properly and in a timely fashion. I am so grateful for the character and discipline that was instilled during these early years!

“If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are.” St. Mother Teresa
    Humility begins by recognizing that God is God and we are his creatures, created to know, love and serve HIM…and that without his help and his grace, we simply cannot live a holy life.

“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.” St. Mother Teresa

“The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” –Mark Twain
    Allow Jesus to love others through you…and make space in your day to pray so you have the grace to make it happen!
