Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.

We all get stuck. We all lose ourselves a little bit in a fantasy or in our jobs and forget how we feel about other things. It's really important to check yourself to spend some time alone.

Too many Christians have a commitment of convenience. They'll stay faithful as long as it's safe and doesn't involve risk rejection or criticism. Instead of standing alone in the face of challenge or temptation they check to see which way their friends are going.

The excess of our youth are checks written against our age and they are payable with interest thirty years later.
