I'm just trying to make the point that the story we're telling ourselves is often very different from the story we're telling the people around us.

Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.

The human body essentially recreates itself every six months. Nearly every cell of hair and skin and bone dies and another is directed to its former place. You are not who you were last November.

I am a person of faith, so I come from a community that's involved in 360,000 churches across the country, that is an institution that could, in a relatively short period of time, provide hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of positive male role models.

All this beauty exists so you and I can see His glory, His artwork. It's like an invitation to worship Him, to know Him.

Nobody will listen to you unless they sense that you like them.

If what you are doing is important, you will encounter resistance. If what you are doing isn't important it will be easy.
