“Have you ever watched an artist painting a landscape in oils? While he's working, while you're standing up close to the canvas, it doesn't look like much at all. Just splashes of color that don't have much purpose or connection with reality. But when he's finished, when he adds those last brush strokes, and we step back to look, we can see what he had in mind all the time. And it's beautiful. . . . God has a plan for our lives, and when He's done with this particular landscape, it's going to be wonderful and perfect. We'll be able to see His hand in all of it.”

--Robin Lee Hatcher, "The Forgiving Hour," (Waterbrook Press, 1999. Colorado Springs, CO)

"There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends."
