I wonder if the greatest challenges was to keep pressing into [writing] when I had never been here before. I felt like Abraham - being called to something that he didn't know how to get to.

The only way to fight a feeling is with a feeling.

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

Joy and pain, they are but two arteries of the one heart that pumps through all those who don't numb themselves to really living.

We don't see the material world for what it is meant to be: the means to communion with God.... There is a belief missing, that God is good and that he gives good gifts.

Being joyful isn't what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.

As long as thanks is possible, then joy is always possible.
