The deeper you go in ministry, the more the enemy wants to be an irritant in your marriage.

I want to caution you against the idea that balance has to be a routine that looks the same week in and week out.

There is no such thing as a secret mind or secret me apart from the Lord.

My life often feels like a whirling dervish of kids, writing, speaking, and pastoral ministry.

Life and calling are founded on relationships with other people.

So time continued on slowly and painfully. Perhaps the old analogy of being a record stuck on repeat had become too dated; I felt like I’d just gotten an IPod and only could afford one song so that one song played over and over again until I felt as if it was just part of the constant monotony.
