Going ahead in the midst of the stressful circumstances and giving thanks in that moment - you can't simultaneously feel stress and gratitude at the same time. So as a parent, to go ahead and start to give thanks to God resets the whole family.

Every moment I live, I live bowed to something. And if I don't see God, I'll bow down before something else.

They say time is money, but that's not true. Time is life. And if I want the fullest life, I need to find fullest time... the busyness of your life leaving little room for the source of your life... God gives us time. And who has time for God? Which makes no sense.

How long does it take your soul to realize that your life is full? The slower the living, the greater the sense of fullness and satisfaction.

There is unwavering peace today when an uncertain tomorrow is trusted to an unchanging God.

I think God calls us to small things, to faithfulness right where we are, to just do the next thing. I was simply writing out our family stories in my online journal, scratching out what I want to remember, what I was wrestling out with God.

Living radical isn't about where you live - it's about how you love.
