The reason I like writing a memoir is because it isn't preachy.
Donald Miller
Image
Christ, in short, asks us to give everything, all our false redemption in the lifeboat, all our false ideas about who God is, all our trust in something other than God to redeem us. In so doing, we die to our broken natures in exchange for His perfect nature, and find unification with Him that will allow God to see us as one.

If the abortion issue is important to me, this is how you tackle that issue.

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.

Image
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.

The economy is turning around, so that's going to help a little bit.

When you fly across the country in an airplane the country seems vast but it isn't vast. It's all connected by roads one can ride a bike down. If you watch the news and there's a tragedy at a house in Kansas, that guy's driveway connects with yours, and you'd be surprised by how few roads it takes to get there.

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

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
Image
Truth grew in my mind like a fungus, and though I tried to sleep it out, there was no resisting the epiphanies.
Donald Miller
Image
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.
Donald Miller
Image
If what you are doing is important, you will encounter resistance. If what you are doing isn't important it will be easy.

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

God doesn't give us crying, pooping children because he wants to advance our careers.

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

The early bird catches the worm. But I have never been one for worms. I am not sure what the late bird catches, but I will feast with him today. Probably porridge.
