There are things you cannot understand, and you must learn to live with this. Not only must you learn to live with this, you must learn to enjoy this.

My most recent faith struggle is not one of intellect. I don’t really do that anymore. Sooner or later you just figure out there are some guys who don’t believe in God and they can prove He doesn't exist, and there are some other guys who do believe in God and they can prove He does exist, and the argument stopped being about God a long time ago and now it’s about who is smarter, and honestly I don’t care.

I had some friends commenting me books, but mostly it was people I didn't know. But they're fans. They're fans of the books, so they have a working knowledge of how I write, and they know what they like and what they don't like. I'm really grateful for their feedback.

True intimacy, the exchange of affection between two people who are not lying, is transforming.

I want to start replacing my “fix” response with an “enjoy” response and just let people be themselves.
