Donald Miller
When something happens to you, you have two choices in how to deal with it. You can either get bitter, or get better.
Donald Miller
...she wanted God to make sense. He doesn't. He will make no more sense to me than I will make sense to an ant.
Donald Miller
Every creative person, and I think probably every other person, faces resistance when they are trying to create something good...The harder the resistance, the more important the task must be.
Donald Miller
Without the Christian explanation of original sin, the seemingly silly story of Adam and Eve and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, there was no explanation of conflict. At all.
Donald Miller

Donald Miller
