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

Image
One of the things I associate with God is a sunrise. How many sunrises have you missed over the years, and God created that?

There is something beautiful about a billion stars held steady by a God who knows what He is doing.

The greatest stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.

I think it's very hard for us, for Christians, to understand that it's okay to read a book, for instance, on how to manage your time. There's nothing wrong with that.

When a relationship is right, it is no more possible to wake up and want out of the marriage than it is to wake up and stop believing in God. What is, is what is.

If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon they just think you died.

I tend to write first drafts that are incredibly cognitive, very rational, very boring. They come off as justification. Like, 'This is my idea and here's all the reasons that it's right.' It doesn't make for very compelling reading.

The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.

The trouble with deep belief is that it costs something. And there is something inside me, some selfish beast of a subtle thing that doesn't like the truth at all because it carries responsibility, and if I actually believe these things I have to do something about them. It is so, so cumbersome to believe anything. And it isn't cool.

Suffering ceases to be suffering when you have a redemptive perspective.

We don't think much about how our love stories will affect the world, but they do. Children learn what's worth living for and what's worth dying for by the stories they watch us live. I want to teach our children how to get scary close, and more, how to be brave. I want to teach them that love is worth what it costs.

It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.

I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago, because a mind was made fo figure things out, not to read the same page recurrently.

The people I used to be surrounded by are getting along without me. Somehow, that really bugs me.

...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.
