people bugs used
The people I used to be surrounded by are getting along without me. Somehow, that really bugs me.
asking care who-god-is
Instead of asking what it feels like to follow God or be used by God, we should be asking who God is, and whether we really know Him. Everything else will take care of itself.
dog writing vacuums
I'm amazed at how much my writing is improved when I step away from the computer, even in small amounts. If I'm stuck, I vacuum the living room or walk the dog. I'm amazed at what comes out of that... We have to realize that part of the writing life where we're sitting down at the computer is harvesting the crops, but you have to have planted them and watered them and created fertile soil - and that's a life.
love-is manipulation ifs
No love is conditional. If love is conditional, it’s just some sort of manipulation masquerading as love.
beautiful strong worry
Leave. Roll the world around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful world, isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed.

If you aren't telling a good story, nobody thinks you died too soon; they just think you died.
book years pages
Every day you live is a page. Every year, a chapter. Your life, a book. What is it about?
book thinking too-much
When we think too much about the opinions of others, we are letting them edit a book God has written.
humility men proud
In exchange for our humility and willingness to accept the charity of God, we are given a kingdom. And a beggar's kingdom is better than a proud man's delusion.
jesus noble
I don't find anyone more noble than Jesus.
jesus believe heart
I think that's the true litmus test for someone who has become closer to Jesus: their heart is more loving, accepting, childlike, less believing that they have all the answers and more believing in Him.
want able hard
If you want to bond with your friends, do something very hard with them, something that you won't be able to do alone.
art robots form
Most great art is freedom within form. Without form, we are amateurs, without freedom, we are robots.
