Quotes by Craig D. Lounsbrough

If I scan the expanse of my heart and find it empty of everything except emptiness, it is because I ‘poured’ the whole of my passion into something other than God. And anything other than God will always be too ‘poor’ to be able to ‘pour’ back anything that can fill that kind of emptiness.

Common sense is one of the most unused commodities available to man.

To think that we grasp the fullness of life is to say that by holding a mere drop of water in our hands we are able to understand the immensity of the ocean.

Do I make up some ‘god’ in my mind, or do I make up my mind to know God?

The road to success is paved with the hot asphalt of failure.
