• my desire in worship is to gaze so deeply into the face of God that I may experience His presence as much as I can here on earth. Then hopefully when I get to Heaven, I might recognize His face. -kari jobe
• Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that Our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased. - cs lewis

• there is a subtle difference between a mission and a promis. a mission is something you strive to accomplish - a promise is something you are compelled to keep. one is individual, the other is shared. when a mission and a promise are one and the same...that's when mountains are moved and races are won. // hala moddelmog [299]

• "Like Jesus, we are to love others not because of who they are, but because of who we are—all and equally the beloved of God." -Richard Rohr
• "We realized all the achievements and accolades we thought we're important growing up didn't give us the thing that we really wanted, which was to wake up in the morning with wonder and awe and inspiration." - Rob Bell
• "Mature religion helps us speed up the process of dying to the false self—or at least to stop fighting its eventual demise. This is why saints live in such a countercultural way. Dying is a gradual free fall anyway, so we might as well jump in and cooperate. It is much easier to offer a conscious, free yes to death ahead of time before it is finally forced upon us on our deathbed or in some tragedy. St. Francis said it well: “Welcome, Sister D...
