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

In exchange for our humility and willingness to accept the charity of God, we are given a kingdom. And a beggar's kingdom is better than a proud man's delusion.

The truth is, if what we choose to do with our lives won't make a story meaningful, it won't make a life meaningful either.

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

We have to have positive male role models.

At the end of the day, when I am lying in bed and I know the chances of any of our theology being exactly right are a million to one, I need to know that God has things figured out, that if my math is wrong we are still going to be okay. And wonder is that feeling we get when we let go of our silly answers, our mapped out rules that we want God to follow. I don't think there is any better worship than wonder.

Everybody has to leave, everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.
