Joni Erickson Tada, on worrying<\/strong><\/p>\n

“I want to stay in the habit of ‘glancing’ at my problems and ‘gazing’ at my Lord.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I love this quote–and I love the circuitous route it took to get to me. I got it from Vitamin Z<\/a> who got it from Josh Harris<\/a> who got it from a tweet by Randy Alcorn<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Stephen Altrogge, on information and technology:<\/strong><\/p>\n
