We complicate our faith and lives in many ways, but at the core, our purpose is simple: We are called to love.

Peace doesn't come from finding a lake with no storms. It comes from having Jesus in the boat.

The most important task of your life is not what you do, but who you become.

If you want to do the work of God, pay attention to people. Notice them. Especially the people nobody else notices.

Love and hurry are fundamentally incompatible. Love always takes time, and time is the one thing hurried people don't have.

What repeatedly enters your mind and occupies your mind, eventually shapes your mind, and will ultimately express itself in what you do and who you become.

The decision to grow always involves a choice between risk and comfort. This means that to be a follower of Jesus, you must renounce comfort as the ultimate value of your life.

Wise people build their lives around what is eternal and squeeze in what is temporary. Not the other way around.

Never try to have more faith - just get to know God better. And because God is faithful, the better you know Him, the more you'll trust Him.

When we live in the love of God, we begin to pay attention to people the way God pays attention to us.

My biggest role model? Def my Mom and my sisters!

I was marrying someone I loved because I didn't want to lose them; I didn't see anything wrong with that.

Likely as not, the child you can do the least with will do the most to make you proud.

If you work at comedy too laboriously, you can kill what's funny in the joke.
