Pondering these Words

I used to post in my daybook about quotes I was pondering, but I don't spend a lot of time pondering quotes outside of scripture. Every now and then, something catches my thoughts and keeps the wheels in my head turning. Here are a couple that I wanted to share.

"If you're looking for a perfect church, don't go there. It won't be perfect once you get there." Pastor Mark Fuller during yesterday's sermon. This one made me giggle a little, but I think it is so very telling of the way so many people think about churches these days.

"WARNING: A cold, hard heart can destroy a marriage. A thick layer of ice around our heart means we shut out the voice of the person we've frozen out. A hard heart is a wall for those on the outside but it’s a prison for the one who's carrying it. Keep your heart warm and soft for your husband. Will you let God melt the ice?"
