  29. Go for it! Life lived gloriously...freely Not sitting back and waiting but reaching out to experience the joys and sorrows questions and answers struggle and victory and everything in between. Go for it! Not timidly, fearfully inching into life’s waters but plunging in with courage and faith and hope Knowing the freedom of total commitment.

  30. Go for it! Not isolated...alone, but living and learning and growing with others Knowing their support and sharing it with them. Go for it! Rejoicing in the world around you the people who share it... the God who made it. Go for it! Sharon Baack
