Inside Trinity
Thoughts from the Pastor

Greetings from Pastor Howard,

I hope that these words find you safe, well, and happy.  I also hope that these words serve you well on your journey.


3/9:  God's promises are like the stars; the darker the night the brighter they shine.
-David Nicholas

3/8:  We cannot abandon life because of its storms. The strongest trees are not found sheltered in the safety of the forest, rather they are in the open spaces --
bent and twisted by the winds of all seasons.
-Tammy Felton

3/4:  "Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can't see from the center."

--Kurt Vonnegut-- 

3/3:  “The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers.”

–M. Scott Peck-- 

3/2:  “Tenderness and kindness are not signs of weakness and despair but manifestations of strength and resolution.”

-- Kahlil Gibran--

3/1:  “We must not only speak about forgiveness and reconciliation -- we must act on these principles.”

--Desmond Tutu-- 

2/25:  Often our trust is not full. We are not certain that God hears us because we consider ourselves worthless and as nothing. This is ridiculous and the cause of our weakness. I have felt this way myself.

~ Julian of Norwich ~
