Donald Miller quotes about
plenty
The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.
mistake father light
Today I wonder why it is God refers to Himself as 'Father' at all. This, to me, in light of the earthly representation of the role, seems a marketing mistake.
language mystery ability-to-communicate
I had always suspected language was quite limited in its ability to communicate the intricate mysteries of truth.
epic stories unbearable
Good stories must travel through conflict. And in epic stories, the conflict must become unbearable.
nice rivers easy
Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.
old-things people needs
The thing about new things is you feel new when you buy them, you feel as though you are somebody different because you own something different. We are our possessions, you know. There are people who get addicted to buying new stuff. Things. Piles and piles of things. But the new things become old things so quickly. We need new things to replace the old things.
trends belief statements
Even our beliefs have become trend statements.
persons known dies
I could not have known then that everybody, every person, has to leave, has to change like seasons; they have to or they die. The seasons remind me that I must keep changing.
mirrors figures congo
Nothing is going to change in congo until you and i figure out what is wrong with the person inside the mirror
greatness thinking grieving
I kept imagining these people, just living their daily lives, and then having them suddenly ended in unjust tragedy. When we watch the news, we grieve all of this, but when we go to the movies, we want more of it. Somehow we realize that great stories are told in conflict, but we are unwilling to embrace the potential greatness of the story we are actually in. We think God is unjust, rather than a master storyteller.
fancy shy want
Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.
grateful mean shining
We live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn't mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. It's a good calling, then, to speak a better story. How brightly a better story shines. How easily the world looks to it in wonder. How grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us to repeat them.
genius pieces ifs
If a piece of genius comes, it comes, and it if doesn't, it doesn't.
website ifs havens
If you buy the website, maybe you'll do something with it. But so far I haven't; we'll see.
