I don't think anyone aims to be typical, really. Most people even vow to themselves some time in high school or college not to be typical. But still, they just kind of loop back to it somehow. Like the circular rails of a train at an amusement park, the scripts we know offer a brand of security, of predictability, of safety for us. But the problem is, they only take us where we've already been. They loop us back to places where everyone can easily go, not necessarily where we were made to go. Living a different kind of life takes some guts and grit and a new way of seeing things.

It's easy to confuse a lot of activity with a purposeful life. Do what lasts; let the rest fall away.

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

The way we love people we disagree with is the best evidence of what we really believe.

If you’re following God and haven’t lost much of what you’ve been holding on to - follow a little closer.

Sometimes the things we think are the impediments are actually the path.

Here's our job as believers, love everybody ALWAYS!
