You probably wouldn't worry about what people think of you if you could know how seldom they do.

~ Joshua Becker in Look Up to Someone at Becoming Minimalist

I need to be patient in the short and long term, in things like the time it takes to clean a room and in the time it takes to develop character.

~ Me in my notes from something about family/marriage/parenting on 8/12/08

You are enough. You have a story. You have a purpose.

But Christ doesn't do that! He drops a comma like a grenade.

He gives us the gift of the comma and then asks us to strengthen our brothers. Not beat ourselves with emotional whips. Or lay in a hole of shame. Or stay to the shadows of the church, afraid to be seen.

~ Jon Acuff in The Comma of Grace at Stuff Christians Like (Fantastic post about Luke 22:32 that I'd encourage you to take two minutes to read.)
