If we pick recognition over influence we'll be known for all the wrong stuff.

What distracts us will begin to define us. We don't need to swing at every pitch.

There's a lot to be concerned about; there's more to be hopeful for.

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 doesn't just keep thinking about it or keep planning for it... Simply put: Love does!

Loving people the way Jesus did, means living a life of constant interruptions. Bring it.

There's a difference between a caper and a prank. A prank is like playing Ding-Dong-Ditch, you know, you ring the doorbell and then run and hide in the ditch. That's a prank. It has no shelf life, like reassembling the principal's car up on the roof of the gym. It's cute and everything but there's no shelf-life, and it can actually be kind of destructive. But a caper is different. It's something where everybody has made it in.
