From Jon Acuff's blog

It's never “too late” for a God who lives outside of time. He created it, he is not constrained by it. On God’s calendar there’s always the perfect amount of time for a second, third or 500th chance. — Jon Acuff

From a Mikey's Funny

“The Lord is my shepherd, and that's all I need to know.”


Here's the context:
A Sunday school teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23.  She gave the youngsters a month to learn the chapter.
Little Rick was excited about the task - but he just couldn't remember the Psalm.  After much practice, he could barely get past the first line.
On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, "The Lord is my shepherd, and that's all I need to know."
