You are saved, not because of what you do, but because of what Christ did. And you are special, not because of what you do, but because of whose you are. And you are his.

I think there is something about a story that is enduring. Stories take on a life of their own.

In our faith we follow in someone's steps. In our faith we leave footprints to guide others. It's the principle of discipleship

God grants us an uncommon life to the degree we surrender our common one.

Nature is God's workshop. The sky is his resume. The universe is his calling card. You want to know who God is? See what he has done.

We (Christians) are always in the presence of God. There is never a non-sacred moment! His presence never diminishes. Our awareness of His presence may falter, but the reality of His presence never changes.

How my relationship with my parents influenced my writing, really not at all. My dad was a mechanic, my mom a nurse.
