Declare a jubilee. Forgive all who have hurt or harmed you, intentionally or otherwise, then walk away from the bitterness. Let it no longer define you, your philosophy, your theology, your religion, your parenting, your expectations, your strategies, your management styles, your book manuscripts, and your relationships. Freedom from resentment and bitterness is a choice….

Once you fully comprehend the evil lurking in your best self, you have little time to contemplate the evil in others….

It’s amazing to experience faith kicking in and taking you to levels of comprehension and clarity that you’ve never before experienced….

A genuine friend is one who will contend with you….

The bad we see in others tends to be our image of our own worst selves….

There’s freedom in speaking your mind….

If I’d known ahead of time just how hard life would be, I never would have had the courage to walk this far–and I never would have known how faithful God is….

Time and truth are on the same side.

We give respect, not because others earn it, but because of who we are….

Passion is no indicator of right…

There’s no shortcut through the long and winding valley of the shadow….

Some days it seems you’re just another gladiator….
