"At school I pretended I had a normal life, but I felt lonely all the time and different from everyone else. I never felt like I fit in, and I wasn't allowed to participate in after-school activities, go to sports events or parties or date boys. Many times I had to make up stories about why I couldn't do anything with my classmates."
Joyce Meyer

"It's like a jar of salad dressing sitting on a shelf... most of the seasoning settles to the bottom of the bottle.
