We leave our hearts by the side of the road and head off in the direction of fitting in, getting by, being productive, what have you.

Caring for our own hearts isn't selfishness it's how we begin to love.

You can't fight a battle you don't think exists.
John Eldredge
Image
A man must have a battle to fight, a great mission to his life that involves and yet transcends even home and family.

God endowed you with a glory when he created you, a glory so deep and mythic that all creation pales in comparison.

Image
The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other--moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun.
John Eldredge
Image
A man's calling is written on his true heart, and he discovers it when he enters the frontier of his deep desires.

The most dangerous man on earth is the man who has reckoned with his own death. All men die few men ever really live.
