When you fly across the country in an airplane the country seems vast; but it isn't vast. It's all connected by roads one can ride a bike down. If you watch the news and there's a tragedy at a house in Kansas, that guy's driveway connects with yours, and you'd be surprised by how few roads it takes to get there.

It blew my mind that what I was thinking was actually applicable to people's lives, and it certainly revolutionized family.

The greatest stories go to those who don’t give in to fear.

Our lives have a countdown clock that we can't see. Mine reminds me to only do work that matters.

If you want to bond with your friends, do something very hard with them, something that you won't be able to do alone.

When I was in love there was somebody in the world who was more important than me, and that, given all that happened at the fall of man, is a miracle, like something God forgot to curse.

Believing in God is as much like falling in love as it is making a decision. Love is both something that happens to you and something you decide upon.
