Like many a minister, I’ve preached some very fine sermons that I can no longer recall and some roundly mediocre ones that I cannot seem to forget.

Altogether Good!
Only someone who travels can talk about the places they’ve been; all the others can only imagine what is over the next hill, who they’ll meet one day.

It is altogether good (for us, and for you) that you chose it.
