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

Believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.

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.

Some people skip through life. Others are dragged through it. I sometimes wonder if we are moving through time, or whether time is moving through us. Light, unlike anything else in the universe is not effected by time. Light exists outside of time.. It is still a mystery to physicists.

I know, from the three visits I made to him, the blended composite of love and fear that exists only in a boy's notion of his father.

It was a haunting feeling, the sort of sensation you get when you wonder whether you are two people, the other of which does things you can't explain, bad and terrible things.
Donald Miller
Image
...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.

Image
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.

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

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

Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
Donald Miller
Image
We don't think of our flaws as the glue that binds us to the people we love, but they are. Grace only sticks to your imperfections.

I'm the kind of person who wants to present my most honest, authentic self to the world, so I hide backstage and rehearse honest and authentic lines until the curtain opens.
