“Commitment always is costly. When we give ourselves to anything, we are commanded by it. At the same time, that to which we give ourselves becomes the vehicle that gives meaning to our lives. Music commanded Beethoven, but music became the vehicle that carried him to greatness. Art commanded Michelangelo, but his paintings became the vehicle that brought achievement. Christ commanded St. Francis of Assisi, but Christ became the vehicle that carried St. Francis to sainthood.” -Harold Blake Walker

“There is a marvelous story of a man who once stood before God, his heart breaking from the pain and injustice in the world. ‘Dear God,’ he cried out, ‘look at all the suffering, the anguish, and distress in your world. Why don’t you send help?’ God responded, ‘I did send help. I sent you.’ When we tell our children that story, we must tell them that each one of them was sent to help repair the broken world, and that it is not the task of an instant or of a year, but of a lifetime.” -David J. Wolpe
