Favorite quotes:

Busyness is the earwax against the voice of God.

Bitterness is a poison that you take, hoping that the other person will die.

Pride has two evil stepsisters— low self-esteem and jealousy—and two cousins, anger and bitterness.

In theory, there’s no difference between theory and practice, but in practice, there is.

I’m a Christ-follower, but I suck at it. (Fuller Seminary student)
