Famous Craig D. Lounsbrough Quotes

“Confidence is a word born of a deeply primal wish. And it is rendered a wish simply because it is rarely a reality. We long for it. We hope for it. We engage in a myriad number of situations hoping against all hope that we can have confidence in whatever it is that we’ve chosen to engage in. Yet, the confidence that we are most often left with is the confidence that we cannot be confident. And the single exception that I have found is the God who was confident enough in me to be all things confident for me.”

“He said that the blood was not his own, but that of a comrade a few feet away who had been blown apart by an enemy grenade. And after having left the rice paddies of Vietnam, he eventually took up residence in the pew of a small mid-western church. For he said that he had been covered by the blood of one friend in combat and by blood of another on a cross in another sort of combat. And such was his love for both that he committed to forget neither.”

“If I ride the winds of my imagination out to the furthest periphery of my soul their gusts will eventually die and my journey will draw to a halt at some abbreviated horizon. For there is only one wind who gusts who bow to no horizon and who’s course is set to sweep the landscape of the eternal. And that wind is born of a God Who invites us to be swept up into the breeze that leaves every horizon in its wake and eternity riding at its feet.”
