“There are times we need a hug. A prayer. A listening ear. The tricky part is that it’s not always easy to know when those times will come along. So God made a plan for us to gather, to not neglect meeting together.9 That happens in church, at Sunday school, and in Bible studies, and it happens in our homes — those times when we regularly gather to strengthen the spiritual safety net we all need.”

“I cry now as I think about it, big tears rolling down my cheeks, splashing on my laptop. How I didn’t recognize it at the time as one more love note from God. For the excruciatingly beautiful way God loved me in my past even when I didn’t see it. For the way he loves me right now as I sit here recalling this memory. He loves me in the future, scattering notes ahead on the path I’ve yet to see. God loves me.”

“Mimi loves her one beautiful life. She is the one person in my life that I can truly say is continually content. Has her life been perfect? Of course not. Did she experience disappointment?

“You know what real romance is? A man who comes home every night to his family. A man who provides to the best of his ability for his family. Romance is a man who delights in having sex with his wife of a certain age and body fat. Real romance is through think and thin. In sickness and in health. You can keep your smooth talkin' men who give good gifts and talk a good game. Give me a man who is steady, reliable, honest, and true. That's romance.”
