Someday I want to go back and maybe write another book on those seven sayings. I just think they are kind of like a table of contents to the Christian hope. They invite us to go into all the aspects of the heart of Jesus. Everything about them from the drama, the setting, the passion around them - I think the seven sayings of the cross are powerful.

Listen carefully to the feedback your readers give you. Dont write unless people want you to write, a lot of people write just because they want to write.

Write today's worries in sand. Chisel yesterday's victories in stone.

I simply think God is greater than our weakness. In fact, I think it is our weakness that reveals how great God is.

Live in such a way that you would not have to change your plans.

God's mercies are new every morning. Receive them.

Faith is the bird that sings while it is yet dark.
