2026 Word of the Year: Delight

Last year’s word was “abide,” and boy, did this season require obedience, tolerance, clinging to a few lasting treasures we’ve collected, and dwelling in Christ, no matter what our address.

Brandon and I came to similar words at the same time, so we’re going with what we heard—joy and delight. Please subscribe to my Substack, Palace in Time, for a few words about these

Donald Miller
“We live in a world where bad stories are told, stories that teach us life doesn't mean anything and that humanity has no great purpose. It's a good calling, then, to speak a better story. How brightly a better story shines. How easily the world looks to it in wonder. How grateful we are to hear these stories, and how happy it makes us to repeat them.”
Donald Miller, A Million Miles in a Thousand Years: What I Learned While Editing My Life

“One day can change your life. One day can ruin your life. All life is is three or four big days that change everything.”
Beverly Donofrio

“The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven..”

“Human resources are like natural resources; they're often buried deep. You have to go looking for them, they're not just lying around on the surface. You have to create the circumstances where they show themselves.”
