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

Sometimes we ask God for help and God gives us hope, not because it's different, but because it's the same.

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

When you are in high school, you don't give much thought to what you can't do. For most people, that gets learned later, and for still fewer, gets unlearned for the rest of life.

Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay; it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.

I used to think God wouldn’t talk to me, but now I know I’m just selective with what I choose to hear.

We don't really make friends, they make us.
