I started collecting quotes when I was a pre-teen, filling journal after journal with them. Some were religious, some were funny, some were uplifting, some made me cry.
It's hard to remember all these awesome quotes now, since there's so many, so I thought this would be a great way to organize my quotes by categories, for easy reference, not only for myself, but others as well.
Enjoy!

Going to church does not make you a Christian anymore than going to McDonald's makes you a hamburger.
My 3 White Dresses
My mom bought me a white dress,
not red or pink or blue.
She said it was a special dress,
Like very other few
There has been just one before,
A dress now put away,
That I wore some time ago,
Upon my blessing day.
As a little baby clothed,
In my first white dress,
My dad held me in his arms,
There to name and bless.
So pure and clean I was just then
With time to grow and learn
About my Father's plan for me.
My glory I must earn.
Now I've reached the age to judge,
The wrong road from the right,
And I am here to be baptized;
In this dress of white.
So once again, I'm free from sin.
The path is clear to me.
I'll grasp the rod and hold on tight,
I vow with certainty.
Just as mud would stain my dress,
Sin would stain my soul.
The key is to repent or bleach,
For whiteness is my goal.
And if I try my very best,
Then richly blessed I'll be,
Wearing inside God's holy house,
White dress number three.
So today I make this pledge
I'll strive to choose the right,
Through this sacred baptism ordinance,
In my second dress of white.
