I know that sounds so circular, but for you, what you were made to do, is different than what I was made to do.

Living a life fully engaged in full of whimsy and the kind of things that love does is something most people plan to do, but along the way they just kind of forget.

Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.

I want to go barefoot because it’s holy ground I want to be running because time is short and none of us has as much runway as we think we do and I want it to be a fight because that’s where we can make a difference. That’s what love does.
