"Set your life on fire. Seek those who fan your flames." “I am my own self, I belong to me and me alone. I have mastered the art of self preservation and caution.” Well, good for you!

“The law tells me how crooked I am. Grace comes along and straightens me out.” He Is Gracious. He Gives What We Cannot Earn We live in an achievement culture.
