Unbelief was the first sin, and pride was the first-born of it.

We often learn more of God under the rod that strikes us than under the staff that comforts us.

When we believe that we should be satisfied rather than God glorified in our worship, then we put God below ourselves as though He had been made for us rather than that we had been made for Him.

God knows all that is done in the most secret caverns of the heart. No place is deprived of his presence.

The moment when a man's head drops off is seldom or never, I am inclined to think, precisely the most agreeable of his life.

What I'm hoping to do though is to ground my extrapolations in specificity, and to make sure that the story I tell is deliberately and honestly told.

I'm sure there are a lot of things I should have done differently. But I don't think I've stepped on anyone along the way. If I have, I didn't mean to.

I believe that when you find love, you hold on to it and cherish it because there is nothing finer and it may never come again.
