Even Samuel Clemens showed an understanding of the stark difference between grace(unmerited favor) and merit(works) that even many who call themselves "Christians" do not understand.

Yea, my opinion 'most' Christians take an 'ostrich approach' to a passage like Romans 2:6 and pretend it's not there in lieu of trying to rightly divide it.

"Heaven goes by favor; if it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in." - Mark Twain

When you handle yourself, use your head. When you handle others, use your heart.
- Donna Reed (aka Donna Stone)

I think the years on The Donna Reed Show (1958), the years from 14 to 19, were so incredibly important. Donna Reed was simply an extraordinary woman, a woman of great strength, kindness, integrity and compassion. I am not trying to make her sound like a saint, but she had the most profound influence on me. I carry her with me today.

[on his work with A Minor Consideration] People on the "outside", people who have not lived the life . . . "civilians", as we call them . . . are not equipped to deal with the masterful deceptions of former kid stars. For God's sake, when you don't know what to do with a former child star, call on the only group of people who DO know. We never say, "I told you so". We never seek retribution. We do not judge lest we be judged. We simply help.
- Paul Peterson (aka Jeff Stone)
