You don't need a plan; you just need to be present.

Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay; it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.

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

I don't think success is what we've made of ourselves; I think it's what we've made of others.

We won't be like Jesus if it's more important to us to be like each other. God doesn't compare what he creates.

The way we treat people we disagree with most is a report card on what we've learned about love.

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