Today is unique! It has never occurred and it will never be repeated. At midnight it will end, quietly, suddenly, totally. Forever. But the hours between now and then are opportunities with eternal possibilities.

Each day of our lives we make deposits in the memory banks of our children.
Charles R. Swindoll
The habit of always putting off an experience until you can afford it, or until the time is right, or until you know how to do it is one of the greatest burglars of joy. Be deliberate, but once you've made up your mind -jump in.
Charles R. Swindoll
One of the marks of maturity is the ability to disagree without becoming disagreeable
Charles R. Swindoll
People who are close to God cultivate a personal intimacy with Him like a good gardener cultivates beautiful flowers.
Charles R. Swindoll
I'm glad . . . that Edison didn't give up on the light bulb. That Luther refused to back down. That Michelangelo kept painting. That Lindbergh kept flying.

Allow me to offer a simple definition of wisdom. Wisdom is looking at life from God's point of view.
Charles R. Swindoll
We cannot change our past. We can not change the fact that people act in a certain way. We can not change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude.

One of the worst things you can give to your people is someone you're not.

That's what this thing called Christian life is all about, isn't it. Going . . . yet not knowing. As followers of our Lord we believe He leads us in a certain direction . . . or in pursuit of a precise goal.
Charles R. Swindoll
Home is the bottom line of life, the anvil upon which attitudes and convictions are hammered out the single most influential force in our earthly existence. No price tag can adequately reflect its value.
Charles R. Swindoll
Thanksgiving is a time of quiet reflection an annual reminder that God has, again, been ever so faithful. The solid and simple things of life are brought into clear focus.
Charles R. Swindoll
Do not lean on your own understanding. That means don't bring in the crutches and lean on them, those crutches that you have designed and made to handle such situations. Stay away from them. Don't lean on them lean on God.
Charles R. Swindoll
When the Lord makes it clear you're to follow Him in this new direction, focus fully on Him and refuse to be distracted by comparisons with others.
Charles R. Swindoll
When I think of vision, I have in mind the ability to see above and beyond the majority.
Charles R. Swindoll
Leadership is influence. To the extent we influence others, we lead them.
Charles R. Swindoll
The wonderful thing about God is he knows what we need to persuade us.
Charles R. Swindoll
There is plenty of television. There are plenty of talk shows. There are plenty of comedians. But there is not plenty of worship of the true and living God.
Charles R. Swindoll
Nothing is so common as unsuccessful men with talent. They lack only determination.
Charles R. Swindoll
Our great tendency in this age is to increase our speed, to run faster, even in the Christian life. In the process our walk with God stays shallow, and our tank runs low on fumes. Intimacy offers a full tank of fuel that can only be found by pulling up closer to God, which requires taking necessary time and going to the effort to make that happen.
Charles R. Swindoll
Stand still... and refuse to retreat. Look at it as God looks at it and draw upon His power to hold up under the blast.
