I have been engaged with truth with a capital “T” for a lifetime now. I had no choice in this; I seemed to be given a chance to grow if I studied myself and my reactions all the time.

Of course, I missed the mark, but to this day, I keep on trying.

Here is what I know. It is not what happens to me; it is how I remain aware as much as I can all of the time.

Truth is a holy thing, but you must learn to love it instead of your own reactions to life.

Failure is a gift and a promise. “Admit you are failing and I will lead you out of despair and into light.”

Above the level of despairing over your problems lies your ability to be humble before God.

That is a nutshell teaching.
