We can hide a lot of stuff until God shows up, for when God shows up nothing is hidden, which includes both our embarrassment and His forgiveness.

We work hard to believe that our actions really don’t affect others all that much because we want the license to act without thinking all that much.

Has it not ‘dawned’ on us that many of the things that we incessantly blame others for are actually things that our actions originally set in motion? Or, are we too weak to experience a ‘dawning’ of that sort?

Sometimes we have to pretend that we don’t care in order to protect ourselves from the fact that we do. And the thing that we have to pretend the most is that this actually works.

Darkness should never be an excuse to quit, for with God, darkness is the exact stuff that light was built for.

I paved the path to the very place I don’t want to be. But passing the blame off to someone else doesn’t put me any place else.

At one time or another someone said to us, ‘What were you thinking?’ And often it’s not that we weren’t thinking. Rather, it was that we were thinking that thinking would get in the way of what we wanted, so we were thinking that it would be better not to think. And I think that all of that is thinking.

Avoidance is paying forward that which I would be much wiser to pay off.

My denial of some ‘thing’ does not have the power to eradicate that ‘thing.’ And the denial of that fact may very well be the basis of all denial.
