Favorite verse:  Better a day in your courts than a thousand anywhere else.  I would rather stand at the threshold of the house of my God than live in the tents of wicked people.  For the Lord God is a sun and shield.  The Lord grants favor and honor; he does not withhold the good from those who live with integrity.  Happy is the person who trusts in you, Lord of Armies!   Psalm 84:10-12

Favorite verse: "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever. Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize." - 1 Corinthians 9:24-27
