Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future.

Human beings, when confronted with the strange and inexplicable, have an immediate instinct to get back to the accustomed and the normal. We do not hug our miracles close; we put them hastily away, preferring the commonplace to live with it. It is as if some compulsive hand wipes clean the wall on which the handwriting appeared.

In making our decisions we must use the brains that God has given us. But we must also use our hearts which He also gave us.

We crucify ourselves between two thieves: regret for yesterday and fear of tomorrow.
