Quotes edit
-
“God's blessing doesn't mean that we can't make mistakes and pay a price for them.”
Pam McQuade -
“. . .Christians can have several kinds of root systems. Some of us are shallow and narrow. When a storm comes along, we're easily uprooted. Others, wide, but not too deep, . . . can grow large in the faith, but it isn't hard to uproot them with the right tools. Then there are believers who send down a deep taproot, like a maple tree.

Pam McQuade -
“Paul was more interested in putting them on the right path than handing them a harsh critique.”
Pam McQuade -
“People become so used to bad behavior, they can't believe in any good.”
Pam McQuade
