If I cared what the Church said about the things we do, I wouldn’t be out here doing them.” He chuckled, massaging the snags of his beard. “I suppose the Church would have us stay true to the laws of the land, but the Lord would have us stay true to our hearts.

Through prayer we are closer with Him, which gives us strength. But that’s only half of it. We give God strength as well, when we give of ourselves, unselfishly. "
