Our failures can leave behind pavement or potholes. Our ability to receive grace determines which it will be.

We plant sod where God wants 2 plant seed. He's more interested in growing our character than having us look finished.

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

I know that sounds so circular, but for you, what you were made to do, is different than what I was made to do. But instead of spending all of our time having Bible studies about what we were made to do, go do stuff and you'll figure out what you were made to do, because you'll be great at some things and you'll be terrible at others.

God's big plan: go love everybody, always!

The organization just said no to you. Find what it is that you were made to do and get on it! Go do what you were made to do.
