Even in our best shape we are a brittle piece of mortality. Your life is a breath, don't waste it.

In your late teens and early twenties, everything is idealism. Everything should just work in black and white. That's good. You need that. I think most revolutions are started by people in their teens and twenties.

Today's circumstances are out of your control but you CAN control your response. Don't let a negative outlook kill your joy today.

I think that as a Christian, we're to be a light in this world. I think it's almost like saying "Christian American," it doesn't mean that I'm not American, it just means that I'm distinctly and authentically Christian as much as I am American.

Don't waste your time explaining who you are to people who are committed to misunderstanding you.

Good people don’t go to Heaven, forgiven people do.

I think it's okay to ask questions. I don't think everything is answerable though.
