Sometimes I read thoughts from other people that resonate so deeply within me that I don't ever want to forget them. The trouble is knowing where to put all of these quotes so that I can remember them again and again, short of smothering my computer's desktop with stickies! So I'll put some here for now, and maybe next month there will be another post of quotes, and maybe next month another post. Maybe this blog will morph into simply quotes alone! We'll see ... but here it begins ...
"Productivity experts don’t talk about the soul very much anymore. It’s so much easier to write a life plan than to craft a soul. But life goals can be pretty sterile, cold comfort when you look in the mirror somewhere in middle age and your own hollow eyes look back at you, when the doctor calls you in for the test results and tells you it doesn’t look good and you wonder if any of what you’ve been chasing after has really been good enough?
"No one is really good at their work — if their work is all they are.

So maybe this is what matters: Get a life — and the only way to really get a life — is by giving away the one you have."

On memorizing...
"What the heart knows by heart can heal and hold the heart.
What you really know by heart is what your heart really knows - and what you really live.
What if Jesus' Word was more than useful to us? What if it was beautiful to us?"

"Compassion isn't a vague sense but a feeling so strong it causes you to bend, your insides turned over; it shapes your body, your life, into a response."
