Why is it that everything is collapsing if gravity is pulling us together?

Maybe truth is not something that I can possess. Maybe truth is something which possesses me.

There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.

If we truly believe in an all-powerful God, then there's going to be beauty and truth to be found in all sorts of different places.

Your story matters, who you are matters, tonight matters, none of it is an accident. You were born for the blue skies.

I'm learning how much I have to learn, how little I know, how fragile my understanding is. I'm learning to be thankful and patient; today is all that we will ever have in this life. If we spend our time obsessing with the future or regretting the past then we will never live. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow and yesterday cannot be changed. The wise man seeks God in the now and brings both his regrets and fears before Him. The freedom that we are offered is truly amazing: to live, today, free from even our own fallen desires. This is where I want to be.

I am often tempted to think of success in terms that are defined by others: records sold, popularity gained, album reviews, etc. These are impossible demands, however, and they can never be satisfied. Letting finite others define our worth is a horrible way to live. Only the Infinite Other [God] has the authority to do this.
