Living a life fully engaged and full of whimsy and the kind of things that love does is something most people plan to do, but along the way they just kind of forget. Their dreams become one of those "we'll go there next time" deferrals. The sad thing is, for many there is no "next time" because passing on the chance to cross over is an overall attitude toward life rather than a single decision.

...love is never stationary.

Courageous people feel the same fear everyone else does, they just decide to not be afraid anymore.

God doesn't break things so He can fix them; He fixes broken things so He can use them.

That's one of the things about love. It doesn't recognize boundaries and never obeys the rules we try to give it.

One thing I do is (and I realize this might sound nuts), every month or so, I try to take like an Etch-a-sketch [so to speak], and I clear my faith. I go to zero, clear the deck. And I start adding things back to my faith, one at a time. What would be the first thing I'd add back? Jesus. It sounds a little bit like a Sunday school answer, but that's what I do. Then what's the next thing? And I'd say, well, loving people. And then the next.

God makes confetti out of our titles and accomplishments to celebrate the poor and the humble.
