• There are times in history when the dark drums of God can barely be heard amid the noises of this world. Then it is only in moments of silence, which are rare and brief, that their beat can be faintly discerned. There are other times. These are the times when God is heard in rolling thunder, when the earth trembles and the treetops bend under the force of [God’s] voice. It is not given to men [and women] to make God speak. It is only given to them to live and to think in such a way that, if God’s thunder should come, they will not have stopped their ears.

  Peter L. Berger

• All organizations start with WHY, but only the great ones keep their WHY clear year after year.

The pursuit, for those who lose sight of WHY they are running the race, is for the medal or to beat someone else.
