I could not have known then that everybody, every person, has to leave, has to change like seasons; they have to or they die. The seasons remind me that I must keep changing.

The heart responds to the conflict within a story.

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

If I use the Bible to prove I am right, I have yet to be humbled by the beautiful truths of the Bible.
