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.

We get to be God's plan for the whole world by pointing people toward Him.

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

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

If you’re following God and haven’t lost much of what you’ve been holding on to - follow a little closer.

Every day God invites us on the same kind of adventure. It's not a trip where He sends us a rigid itinerary, He simply invites us. God asks what it is He's made us to love, what it is that captures our attention, what feeds that deep indescribable need of our souls to experience the richness of the world He made. And then, leaning over us, He whispers, "Let's go do that together.

God made beauty so we'd know how He felt about us.
