It confuses me that Christian living is not simpler. The gospel, the very good news, is simple.

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.

...I should have people around bugging me and getting under my skin because without people I could not grow - I could not grow in God, and I could not grow as a human.

...she wanted God to make sense. He doesn't. He will make no more sense to me than I will make sense to an ant.

...a beggar's kingdom is better than a proud man's delusion.

Book of Ecclesiastes, God is saying... Write a good story, take somebody with you and let me help

We don't think of our flaws as the glue that binds us to the people we love, but they are. Grace only sticks to your imperfections.
