I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face.

Somehow I had come to believe that because a person is in need, they are candidates for sympathy, not just charity. It was not that I wanted to buy her groceries, the government was already doing that. I wanted to buy her dignity. And yet, by judging her, I was the one taking her dignity away.

I used love like money, but love doesn't work like money. It is not a commodity. When we barter with it, we all lose. When the church does not love it's enemies, it fuels their rage. It makes them hate us more.

We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.

I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me

The sexual conquest is huge with men in terms of affirming themselves and their feelings of masculinity. That's a misguided kind of affirmation. That is not helpful, but that stuff happens.

Lets choose to do something really difficult, something that saves lives, and let's do that thing with people we love.

...I should have people around bugging me and getting under my skin because without people I could not grow - I could not grow in God, and I could not grow as a human.

No love is conditional. If love is conditional, it’s just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.

Half the time I don't know what I'm trying to say.

Passion about nothing is like pouring gasoline in a car without wheels. It isn't going to lead anybody anywhere.

The thing I loved about her was that I never felt like she was selling anything. She would talk to God as if she knew Him, as if she had talked to Him on the phone that day. She was never ashamed which is the thing with some Christians I had encountered.

Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.

I love to give to charity, but I don't want to be charity. This is why I have so much trouble with grace.
