Your home is your giant-size privilege, your towering priority.

There is a rawness and a wonder to life. Pursue it. Hunt for it. Sell out to get it. Don't listen to the whines of those who have settled for a second-rate life and want you to do the same so they won't feel guilty. Your goal is not to live long; it's to live.

To see sin without grace is despair. To see grace without sin is arrogance. To see them in tandem is conversion.
