Donald Miller
You can't tell a good story without conflict - the story can't be beautiful or meaningful. We're taught to run from conflict, and it's robbing us of some really good stories.
Donald Miller
By accepting God's love for us, we fall in love with Him, and only then do we have the fuel we need to obey.

There's no authoritarian structure at Reed College, but the education is conservative. So what you have is a lot of students who are very authentically looking for truth.
Donald Miller
...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.
Donald Miller
We don't know how much we are capable of loving until the people we love are being taken away, until a beautiful story is ending.
Donald Miller
