Passion Quote by Sterling Jaquith

““If you turn down invitations because you need to be home cleaning or organizing…you’re owned. If you are unable to pursue your passion because your debt has you working overtime, every month…you’re owned. If you feel overwhelmed and ashamed by the clutter in your home or office…you’re owned. If you feel secure and satisfied after a purchase and within days feel the letdown of disappointment… you’re owned. Is this the life you want to live for the next few decades you may have left in this life?[i]””

“Arthur Lohsen of the Catholic News Agency explains, “Beauty is the single aspect of God which can be expressed physically within the earthly realm.
