We are all more similar than we usually realize.

As an artist, I think it is important for us to mark places in history where we have made progress, to celebrate by expressing that reality.

We are all more similar than we usually realize. So much of the suffering we do in our life is because of obsession with self.

Becoming a father has definitely heightened my discomfort with uncertainty. I want to be able to say, I know what will happen, when, why. But most of the time, we just don't know.

This is a lesson I continue to learn: Be content where you are!

Try to understand long before you move to judgment.

Love is the feeling we get when we recognize the positive attributes in another. You have to continually and actively watch for the best parts of someone else that will let you experience love. I like this definition of love because it's not just for the romantic lovers out there but the love of a friend, a mother, sibling - all kinds of love.

One of my favorite things is watching my children learn something new. The combination of innocence and excitement makes a parent feel truly alive, even if only for a second and peripherally.

I do not know everything, I never will, and that is OK.

Be content where you are! The sooner I let go of the notion that something could only be one way, the way I had planned it, without fail, I have always gotten more done and with far less discomfort.

It is fruitless to search for a single musical style, or even any blend of musical styles, that can assist all Christians with true worship. The followers of Jesus are a far too diverse group of people-which is exactly as it should be. We need, rather, to welcome any worship music that helps churches produce disciples of Jesus Christ.

When we are adding to those around us, the world, ourselves, it feels good and right on levels we cannot even consciously connect with.
