I'm opinionated. I always stick to my design plan. I don't waver.Collection: Design
In two days, it's hard to to get the quality you would normally want for a design project.Collection: Design
What people respond to in my room makeovers is the daring design - fearless colors, bold fabrics and occasionally outlandish decor.Collection: Design
Being in the design industry, I've tended to meet more people who are affected by HIV and AIDS.Collection: Design
I gave the couple a hint of a design that would work great with the bones of their home. They weren't ready for it, and they embarrassed themselves and that's too bad.Collection: Design
Yeah, I spent about 20 years in a dorm room. It took me a while to graduate.Collection: Graduation
I look at each episode in two ways - from a design standpoint and from an entertainment standpoint - this is TV, after all. We usually succeed on at least one of the levels.Collection: Design
Throughout the country, I see the same design problems and solutions over and over.Collection: Design
A challenge always is good. Normal design does not come under the constraints of a small budget and time frame. But it has helped me to make quick and knowledgeable decisions.Collection: Design
It's a character I've created. Actually, that's pretty much the opposite of me, off a farm in the Midwest.
Whether it was working on theatre sets or stage lighting, I didn't realize most all of the skills I was exposed to were going to come in handy later on when I became a designer.
Designing is a lot like a high-wire act - if the tightrope walker is only six inches off the ground, where's the excitement?
A great reformation and revival-it will happen the same way the early Christians conquered Rome. Their program of conquest consisted largely of two elements: gospel preaching and being eaten by lions, a strategy that has not yet captured the imagination of the the contemporary church.Collection: Christian

God gave us minds to think with and hearts to thank with. Instead we use our hearts to think about the world as we would like it to have been, and we use our minds to come up with rationalizations for our ingratitude. We are a murmuring, discontented, unhappy, ungrateful people. And because we think we want salvation from our discontents.Collection: Ungrateful People

Pace yourself in your reading. A little bit every day really adds up. If you read during sporadic reading jags, the fits and starts will not get you anywhere close to the amount of reading you will need to do. It is far better to walk a mile a day than to run five miles every other month. Make time for reading, and make a daily habit of it, even if it is a relatively small daily habit.Collection: Running
God picks us up where we are, not where we should have beenCollection: Should Have
Honor must start in the heart, but if it ends there, it isn’t honor. Honor must be expressed through words, symbols, actions, or gestures. Honor is among the most incarnational of the virtues. It must have feet and hands.Collection: Heart

How would you describe the spiritual aroma of your home? The source of this aroma is the relationship between husband and wife. Many can fake an attempt at keeping God’s standards in some external way. What we cannot fake is the resulting, distinctive aroma of pleasure to God. Most marriage books address the mere externals of marriage, without seeking to understand the heart issues. Godly marriages proceed from an obedient heart, and the greatest desire of an obedient heart is the glory of God, not the happiness of the household.Collection: Spiritual
Whether the Bible is Law or Gospel depends on the spiritual condition of the one hearing it. If someone is regenerate and loves God, then the whole Bible is Gospel to him. If someone is unregenerate and hates God, the whole Bible is Law to him, the whole thing condemns him.Collection: Spiritual
To say that someone is a conservative does not tell us what he is interested in conserving.Collection: Doe
If no God, mankind is a set of bi-pedal carbon units of mostly water. And nothing elseCollection: Water
I believe firmly in plodding. Productivity is more a matter of diligent, long-distance hiking than it is one-hundred-yard dashing. Doing a little bit now is far better than hoping to do a lot on the morrow. So redeem the fifteen minute spaces. Chip away at it.Collection: Distance
You don't have the right to be left alone with that abortion decision. The child is present...you are not alone.Collection: Children
But for you to make this move would reveal the two fundamental tenets of true atheism. One: There is no God. Two: I hate Him.Collection: Atheist
