Live in such a way that the world will be glad you did.

We're all travelers, all sojourners.

But by faith you look in the mirror and see a robed prodigal bearing the ring of grace on your finger and the kiss of your Father on your face.

To live as God's child is to know that you are loved by your Maker not because you try to please him and succeed, or fail to please him and apologize, but because he wants to be your Father. Nothing more.

God offers authentic LOVE. His devotion is the real deal. But He won't give you the genuine until you surrender the imitations.

God is faithful even when his children are not.

I work in theology and Christian books all day long, when Im studying, so its just kind of nice to pick up something different. The books that have influenced me, theres not just one book that was a watershed, although Mere Christianity was as much as any.
