cute christian children
Christian spirituality was not a children's story. It wasn't cute or neat. It was mystical and odd and clean, and it was reaching into dirty. There was wonder in it and enchantment.
jesus unconditional-love free-love
It is no coincidence that Jesus talks endlessly about love. Free love. Unconditional love.
sacrifice winning stories
It wasn't necessary to win for the story to be great, it was only necessary to sacrifice everything.
temptation suffering might
I am human because God made me. I experience suffering and temptation because mankind chose to follow Satan. God is reaching out to me to rescue me. I am learning to trust Him, learning to live by His precepts that I might be preserved.

pain book writing
Here's the truth about telling stories with your life. It's going to sound like a great idea, and you're going to get excited about it, and then when it comes time to do the work, you're not going to want to do it. It's like that with writing books, and it's like that with life. People love to have lived a great story, but few people like the work it takes to make it happen. But joy costs pain.
jesus jobs hero
I think, in the grand epic, Jesus is the hero of our stories. And our stories, as they were, are subplots in a grand epic and our job is not to be the hero of any story. Our job is to be a saint in a story that he is telling.
letting-go given dont-let-go
Don't let go of your strength or your beauty. It was given to you by God.
