It may be that we’re not seeing the wonder in life because all we’re doing is wondering how we’re going to survive life.

Of course love is blind; it keeps me blind to myself.

I have diligently disciplined my life to search out life’s gifts in the places where life stores its scraps.

Often we don’t see the majesty of God’s design because we’re caught up in the mediocrity of our own designs.

My definition of success is not based on achieving the impossible, but rather surviving the probable. And with a threshold that horribly low, simple survival cannot help but become my highest aspiration.

Safety is not a destination that we reach for, rather it is a retreat that we escape to. And if our lives are marked by the incessant search for safety, we will live the whole of it going in reverse.
