I am far too often the author of terribly poor decisions. Yet I must rest in the unalterable fact that God says I am far better than what the sum total of those decisions would ever suggest.

If I’m concerned about why I’ve changed in the way I have, I might start by being concerned about the places where I’ve been.

It’s not that I’ve been invited to the hole I’m standing in. It’s that I accepted the invitation.

Ignorance is not bliss. Rather, ignorance is blistering.

If you’re going to ignore God, at least be mature enough to take responsibility for what’s going to happen after you do that.

Wisdom’ and ‘greed’ sit at opposite ends of the continuum. And interestingly enough, they share the same place on the same continuum as ‘life’ and ‘death.’ And the person who is daring enough to be honest with themselves knows exactly which end they share.

Other than a gaping hole, I won’t leave anything in life by taking everything from life. And if I don’t take anything from that statement, I’ll always be living at the bottom of the hole I’ve dug, wondering where I put the ladder I never had.

Tomorrow will be a culmination of all my today’s, not an escape from them.

The fear of getting knocked down is less about the pain of the fall and more about the embarrassment in having fallen. And so, to rid myself of the latter is to reduce my concern about the former, which means I just unleashed my life.
