Simply put: love does.

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

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

We determine how much influence we'll have, when we decide how available we'll be.

We spend a lot of energy remembering failures God spent a lot of love saying we could forget.

Most people need love and acceptance a lot more than they need advice.

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.
