The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust, sweat, & blood, who strives valiantly, who errs, & comes up short again & again, because there is no effort, without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause: who, at the best knows, in the end the triumph of high achievement, & who at the worst if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold & timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." Theodore Roosevelt
"Preach the gospel! If necessary use words." St. Francis
"The test of courage comes when we are in the minority. The test of tolerance comes when we are in the majority." Ralph W. Sockman
"Character is what you have left when you've lost everything you can lose." Evan Esar
"In a time of Universal Deceit telling the truth is a Revolutionary Act." George Orwell
"There's an old saying about those who forget history. I don't remember it, but it's good." Stephen Colbert
"Talent hits a target that no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see." Arthur Schopenhauer
"The Beatles said all you need is love, and then they broke up." Larry Norman".
More about Jeff:"I am a happily married man with a wife and two kids. God has been very kind to me for no good reason. I am also a grandpa. I am a chaplain at a homeless shelter in Springfield, Il.. I hang out with hookers and addicts, and feel right at home. I love playing the guitar and leading worship. I love hanging with friends. I live in a place called "Fancy Prairie" (I'm not kidding), and it is the perfect place for our family(come visit us some time).".
