No book is a chapter, no chapter tells the whole story, no mistake defines who we are. Hope makes our lives page turners.

I used to think JESUS motivated us with ultimatums, but now I know He pursues us in LOVE.

Love doesn't try to be efficient; when it is most extravagant, it is least wasted.

God finds us in the holes we dig for ourselves. We see failures; He sees foundations.

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 need to stop plotting the course and instead just land the plane on our plans to make a difference by getting to the "do" part of faith.

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