Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #2

Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #5
Although we may face untold numbers that by their sheer mass appear to render us as little more than a speck in the face of them, a single person standing with God amidst any mass will always be an indomitable majority.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #6
Am I a storm-waster? For it is within the fury of the very storms within which I cower that I find resources for my growth that are entirely absent on calmer days.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #7
An inheritance is what you leave with people. A legacy is what you leave in them.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #8
And so to tame Christmas we spin myths to temper the story, we create our own caricatures to speak our own lines into the script, we gift ourselves to enhance an adventure now lagging, and we think we’re on a grand adventure when we’ve completely forgotten what an adventure is.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #9
And so, it is always the case that the past is irreparably land-locked, and the future has yet to land. And here we are, living out our lives on the precariously thin line which separates the two.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #10
And who would dare write their own death into the script so that the rest of the characters in the tale might live? God of course.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #11
Any purpose will be entirely purposeless unless it completely exceeds my ability to achieve it for only then is there room for God, and without God purpose of even the most magnificent sort remains utterly and abjectly purposeless.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #12

Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #14
At some point I hope to have grown sufficiently in both stature and wisdom to understand that I cannot deliver myself from myself, and that God alone can save me from me.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #15

Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #18
Being our best involves walking away from every situation with less than what we had when we encountered it because we left something behind in the exchange.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #19
Being our best is asking how can we take ourselves to the precipice of our own limits in any and every situation?
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #20
Betrayal dressed in love and trimmed with the facade of good intentions is the most barbaric of all betrayals.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #21
Blindness is a choice born of fear, nursed by complacency and groomed by comfort. And what I often don’t see in my blindness is that 'choice' evidences the existence of other options.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #22
Calm for too long begs the question of whether we're in an all-out pursuit of life, or we're all-out of the pursuit of life.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #23
Christmas is a bold act of emboldening sacrifice and the most selfless gift ever granted the rebellious lot that we are.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #24

Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #28
Christmas is God saving mankind from the folly of mankind’s grandiose sense of greatness.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #29
Christmas is not a story birthed of a humanized god for it simply doesn’t fit into the rubric of such an emaciated plot.
Craig D. Lounsbrough Quote #30
Christmas is not something that sprang from the musings of some person who creatively devised caricatures of elves, spiraling candy canes, visions of a magical city whose foundation was nestled in the far reaches of the North Pole, or embellishments of a kindly bishop spun by myth into a bearded old man in a red suit.
