Quotable Quotes

Joey: Hey Ross, I got a science question. If the homosapiens, were in fact, "homosapiens"... is that why they're extinct?

Joey: Hey hey, I'm not judging.

- Friends

God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain.

My Bible Verse

Colossians 3: 15-17

This is the verse I have tatooed on my ankle and, I'm ashamed to say, I don't have it memorized. So I'm putting it here so that I will read it frequently, and also so that you can appreciate it with me. And maybe you'll be moved to memorize it with me. :)
"Let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body, you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful. Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom He gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts. And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father." (NLT)
