"Gaze at Jesus and just glance at men and you will always be an optimist.  Gaze at men and glance at Jesus and you will be a pessimist.  Gaze at Jesus, glance at yourself and circumstances, and the peace that passes understanding will always be yours.  Glance at Jesus, gaze at yourself and circumstances, and you will surrender to decay."

-Michael Wells, Abiding Stories
