Don't let uncertainty talk you into pursuing a backup plan instead of your purpose.

Fear will give us a reason not to try; hope will give us a reason not to listen.

I used to want to fix people, but now I just want to be with them.

Grace draws a circle around everyone and says they're in.

Something happens when you feel ownership. You no longer act like a spectator or consumer, because you're an owner. Faith is at its best when it's that way too. It's best lived when it's owned.

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.

What Jesus said we could do is leave typical behind.
