plenty
The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.
lying two people
True intimacy, the exchange of affection between two people who are not lying, is transforming.
needs process knows
What do markets do? They consolidate, they breakout, they extend, they overextend, they back and fill, they consolidate, and repeat the process. That's all you need to know about the markets.
size heavy sample
Let probability and sample size do the heavy lifting.
christian heart ideas
Many of our attempts to understand Christian faith have only cheapened it. I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me. The little we do understand, that grain of sand our minds are capable of grasping, those ideas such as God is good, God feels, God loves, God knows all, are enough to keep our hearts dwelling on His majesty and otherness forever.
children moving sunset
What I’m saying is I think life is staggering and we’re just used to it. We all are like spoiled children no longer impressed with the gifts we’re given—it’s just another sunset, just another rainstorm moving in over the mountain, just another child being born, just another funeral.

If you don't feel free and be yourself, you can't connect. Find people who accept your quirks. They'll heal your soul.
jesus believe people
What I believe is not what I say I believe; what I believe is what I do. I used to say that I believed it was important to tell people about Jesus, but I never did. A friend kindly explained that if I do not introduce people to Jesus, then I don't believe Jesus is an important person. It doesn't matter what I say. We live for what we believe.
morning sunday church-service
Sunday morning church service is not an enormous priority; spending time with other believers is.
thinking people important
A story is based on what people think is important, so when we live a story, we are telling people around us what we think is important.
worship glory artwork
All this beauty exists so you and I can see His glory, His artwork. It's like an invitation to worship Him, to know Him.
evil aim lure
It occurs to me it is not so much the aim of the devil to lure me with evil as it is to preoccupy me with the meaningless.
