To be my own god is to spend my life pretending that I am what I am not. But how do I pretend that such pretending isn’t destroying my life?

Despite how dark it might be, what is tonight but the precursor to tomorrow?

I would rather have the approval of God over the accolades of men. For while men might 'lift' me up, God is the only One who can 'take' me up.

The idea is to always be attempting things that are greater than who I am. Otherwise I will never be more than who I am. That is why I prefer the call of God over the plans of men, for the former is a call to the impossible and the latter is a summons to what I did yesterday.

Bravery is not the absence of fear, for then I doubt that anyone would be truly brave. Rather, it is passion clothed in determination.

When our lives are difficult beyond description, we must remember that our God is good beyond explanation.

I can chart my own path.  However, I’ve yet to figure out why so many of my paths always seem to lead to the edge of some really big cliffs. Maybe I should consider charting a path out of charting my path.

Ethics are not the things that kill my fun. Rather, they are the things that keep me from getting killed by the things that I thought were fun.

It seems that we are indiscriminately committed to force-fitting a moral standard to the selfishness of our agendas as a means of hiding the selfishness of our agendas. Yet, the only thing that’s hidden is the fact that nothing is hidden.
