"The Christian doctrine of suffering explains, I believe, a very curious fact about the world we live in. The settled happiness and security which we all desire, God withholds from us by the nature of the world: but joy, pleasure, and merriment He has scattered broadcast...The security we crave would teach us to rest our hearts in this world and oppose an obstacle to our return to God...Our Father refreshes us on the journey with some pleasant inns, but will not encourage us to mistake them for home."

"Mingle Be the connector-introduce people to each other who may not otherwise connect. Be a conversation fire starter; point out what people have in common as you are introducing them. Seek out the folks who may appear to be shy, or awkward, or wallflowers. Find ways to build trust and comfort. Engage them with a kind word to pull them out of their shell. Arrive early and stay late; connect with people before and after your event. Stretch beyond your comfort zone to speak with, sit with, and start conversations with people whom you do not know. Offer to refill someone's drink or clear their plate. Encourage introductions: "There is someone whom I would love for you to meet . . ."

I would silently scan the room to see who was approachable and who was not. It was those individuals who put out the approachable vibes whom I would be magnetized toward to engage in conversation."
