 1: My best friend wrote, "Tell me, James, how much do you suffer from the void
  -- the void of not feeling loved....adequately?  Almost everyone suffers from
  this void a least a little bit, and when it's a lot, a general sadness can
  easily thrive.
 2: Most of us find partial fulfillment/distraction thru various endeavors, but
  the human race, deep in its soul, longs for solace from the pain of the Great
  Cosmic Disconnection -- from the pain of a profound love that's missing."  -
  Mike Koofer, personal correspondence, 1996
 3: "It is impossible for us not to speak about what we have seen and heard."
  Acts 4:20  "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son so
  that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life."
  John 3:16
 4: Near the end of 1997, I encountered that Love I had been missing.  Faith
  came to me by divine, rather than human urging, and that is the Holy Spirit.
 5: "What I like about experience is that it is such an honest thing.  You may
  take any number of wrong turnings; but keep your eyes open and you will not
  be allowed to go very far before the warning signs appear.  You may have
  deceived yourself, but experience is not trying to deceive you.
 6: The universe rings true wherever you fairly test it."  - C.S. Lewis,
  Surprised by Joy  "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other
  name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved."  Acts 4:12
 7: "This above all: to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the
  night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man."  - William
  Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act 1  "....in His great mercy He has given us birth
  into a living hope...." 1 Peter 3:1  I have been born again!
 8: God is not insecure, He is confident!  He knows that if you truly seek Him,
  His Spirit will lead you to the truth.  "And you will seek Me and find Me,
  when you search for Me with all your heart."  Jeremiah 29:13
 9: Chessplayers know that a REAL sacrifice carries with it the risk of
  failure, else it's not a real sacrifice.  God did make a real
  sacrifice....and in an individual sense, that sacrifice can....will fail,
  because some won't respond to His free gift of extravagant and unfailing
  love.  If only they would try
10: Because there are only two kinds of people in the world: sinners saved by
  grace (saints), and sinners who need to be saved by grace (ain'ts).  Saints
  are going to heaven; ain'ts ain't.  "How shall we escape if we neglect so
  great a salvation?"  Hebrews 2:3
