Without God's Word as a lens, the world warps.

...the secret to joy is to keep seeking God where we doubt He is.

A life contemplating the blessings of Christ becomes a life acting the love of Christ.

Joy is the realest reality, the fullest life, and joy is always given, never grasped. God gives gifts and I give thanks and I unwrap the gift given: joy.

Gratitude for the seemingly insignificant—a seed—this plants the giant miracle.

Our fall was, has always been, and always will be, that we aren’t satisfied in God and what He gives. We hunger for something more, something other.

Simplicity is ultimately a matter of focus.

Eucharisteo—thanksgiving—always precedes the miracle.

Thanksgiving-giving thanks in everything-prepares the way that God might show us His fullest salvation in Christ.

Sometimes you don’t know when you’re taking the first step through a door until you’re already inside.

Satan prowls but he’s a lion on a leash

Don’t throw good ideas away until you’ve considered all of your options.

Fatherhood is a relationship of love and understanding It is power and action. It is counsel and instruction.

In the Lakes of Light, Love and Will, I would baptize all mankind.

I come from very humble origins, so the last thing I would ever do is to look down my nose at people who can't afford to come here to my shop.

I enjoy running, especially in a new city, so when Im on tour thats always a good option.

It's not easy putting creative projects together. In my case, it might take a long time and you try to do the best.

Then there's the joy of getting your desk clean, and knowing that all your letters are answered, and you can see the wood on it again.

We live in a kissy society.

The last five-six presidents of Haiti have failed miserably. And I don't think it would be an honor for me to say I want to be the next 'president.' I want to be the man by with whom change arrives.

What we learn through failure becomes a precious part of us, strengthening us in everything we do. So let the tough things make you tougher.
