Thanks for introducing me to BKS, Tim. I never heard of him. Seems to have impacted many, many lives – including yours!
I looked up his 8 quotes. I liked the one about not giving up even though we will never be perfect.

“When you inhale, you are taking the strength from God. When you exhale, it represents the service you are giving to the world.”
