Famous Craig D. Lounsbrough Quotes

“It was when the sun gently slipped off the backside of the horizon and slowly drew the light of the day in it’s train that everything went quiet. And before the assorted choruses of crickets and spring peepers rose to greet the night, nature nodded at a day well done. And regardless of whether my day had come with rain or sunshine, I find few things as healing as lifting my soul above my circumstances and bringing the day to a close by nodding at a day well done.”

“Many adventurers would say that opportunity is something that you find as part of a relentless search, or that it’s something that an imagination unleashed shapes and creates. And while all of that sounds bold and wonderfully fearless, it’s my sense that opportunity is more that thing to which we’ve been called by something larger than ourselves, and less something that is a product of ourselves.”

“If the human spirit dreads anything, it is to finally arrive at some long fought for destination, and after celebrating the arrival to suddenly discover that there are no other roads that go forward from that place for there are no other destinations to go to. And it is out of the life-sustaining passion of the human spirit to be ever-achieving that God crafted beginnings and endings so that such a horrific reality will never be reality.”

“If I can draw the slightest smile across a single face obliterated by pain, in that act I will have begun to understand the power of an ordinary human being to perform the seemingly impossible in the life of another human being. And how can that experience do anything less than drive me to try and make the world smile.”

“My first mistake is to humanize God. My second mistake is to hold those wretched human characteristics up against all of the majestic things that I sense God should be. The blatant discrepancy which is certain to ensue then allows me to not only justify my rejection of Him, it grants me unbridled permission to discount His existence altogether. And that third and final mistake is without a doubt the most costly of all.”

“God closed the doors, because He wanted you to realize that He tears down walls. God didn’t move the mountain, because He wanted you to understand that the view from the top more than made up for the climb. God didn’t take away your pain, because that would rob you of the growth that will equip you to overcome all pain. God didn’t save your relationship, because some things need to die in order for better things to be born. God didn’t grant you your dream, because God’s not going to let you be held captive to the mediocrity of the ‘possible,’ when He stands ready to help you break the back of the impossible. God didn’t give you a lot of the things that you asked for, because He wants to save you from the smallness of your requests so that He can bless you with the fullness of Himself. No…God doesn’t always do things the way that we want them done. And thank God that He doesn’t.”

“What is life but God's daring invitation to a remarkable journey? And what is human nature but a staunchly inbred tendency toward self-preservation? And because of the rigidly paradoxical nature of these things, the road of life is seldom trod beyond a few scant steps.”
