"...my plea is that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight...What I am asking is that we turn from the negativism that so permeates our culture and look for the remarkable good in the land and times in which we live; that we speak of one anothers virtues more than we speak of one anothers faults; that optimism replaces pessimism; that uncertainty and worry be pushed aside by an enduring feeling of hope."

"Wait, did you say a frog?" "Yeah it's a frog and it's in his scripture case." I stop for a moment trying to wrap my head around this one, then in my best nonchalant reply. . . "Oh a frog huh?
