I made real sacrifices and took big risks. But living, it seems to me, is largely about risk.

Jan KaronMy first novel is loaded with food references largely because my cupboards were bare, and I was writing hungry.
Jan KaronI've got a lot to download on your mercy and grace. I've always rushed up to You and dumped whatever it was and hurried away, fascinated by my own busyness. I want to turn all this over to You slowly, carefully, examining every fragment as I pass it off, so there'll never be any question about it again. Every time I've dumped and run, I've nearly always run back and snatched it out of Your hands. Help me in this.......Right now, I'm certain of only one thing - that You love us, and that's where we all have to begin.
