What I believe is not what I say I believe; what I believe is what I do. I used to say that I believed it was important to tell people about Jesus, but I never did. A friend kindly explained that if I do not introduce people to Jesus, then I don't believe Jesus is an important person. It doesn't matter what I say. We live for what we believe.

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

the times we worked harder to make the day stand out. our story demanded that we change and so we did.

I don't find anyone more noble than Jesus.

The inciting incident is how you get (characters) to do something. It's the doorway through which they can't return, you know. The story takes care of the rest.

Great writers know what to cut out. It's the same in life. Clear ambitions. Clear relationships. This is the stuff of good story.

Sometimes the story we're telling the world isn't half as endearing as the one that lives inside us.
