Zingers from Croft M. Pentz, Tyndale House Publishers
4591. Life would be so simple if our biggest problems came when we were fresh out of high school and knew everything.
4592. You don’t need to know where you are going provided you know Who you are following.
4593. Don’t spend the last half of your life regretting the first half.
4594. Confidence and respect are things you can’t buy-–you’ve got to earn them.
4595. There is one thing for which you can be thankful-–only you and God have all the facts about yourself.
