"It would be nice if our lives were……" — Eugene Nathaniel Butler
"It would be nice if our lives were a canvas and all our decisions were based by painting by the numbers. You see the color blue for the right job. You see red for the right relationship. You see green for the right friends. Every decision, color-coded, can be put in its proper place on your canvas. Unfortunately, while our lives may be a canvas, there are no numbers to paint by, so we must paint by faith that each color, each decision is the right one."
