Ten Years: What I’ve Learned Since Dad Died

Today marks the ten-year anniversary since my dad unexpectedly passed away. He was 1 month and 4 days shy of his 45th birthday. It’s hard to believe that, if God grants me another 15 1/2 years on this earth, I will have outlived Dad. I’d like to take a moment to share some lessons I’ve […]

“Teach us how short our lives really are so that we may be wise” (Ps 90:12 NCV).”
Michael Whitworth, The Epic of God: A Guide to Genesis

“The next time you have a terrible case of the Mondays, blame yourself and Adam, and then seek hope and inspiration in the Second Adam (Rom 5:15)!”
Michael Whitworth, The Epic of God: A Guide to Genesis

“The story of Ruth reminds us that relationships are not cheap bonds to be broken when circumstances require—or our selfishness demands it. Rather, loyalty in any relationship is a sacred obligation.81 In marriage, a couple vows before God to be loyal to one another until death. As Christians, we rejoice in Christ’s promise to be faithful to us beyond the grave (Matt 28:20; 2 Tim 2:13). But Jesus also expects us to be devoted to one another just as he is devoted to us. This is an important message for church members who expect the church to minister to them in their self-absorption, instead of searching out opportunities to minister to others. “If the Galatians 6:2 instruction to ‘carry each other’s burdens’ has any meaning, certainly Ruth’s actions are an evidence of it. Where we can help ease the pain of individuals within the body of believers, we should do ḥesed.”82”
Michael Whitworth, Bethlehem Road: A Guide to Ruth

“Often on the menu, oysters will be listed as “oysters on the half shell.” As opposed to what? “In a Kleenex?” Even the way you are supposed to eat an oyster indicates something counterintuitive. “Squeeze some lemon on it, a dab of hot sauce, throw the oyster down the back of your throat, take a shot of vodka, and try to forget you just ate snot from a rock.” That is not how you eat something. That is how you overdose on sleeping pills.”
Jim Gaffigan, Food: A Love Story

“I’m convinced that anyone who doesn’t like Mexican food is a psychopath.”
Jim Gaffigan, Food: A Love Story

“When we are most alone is when we embrace another's loneliness.”
Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper

“You had many more years,” he said.
“I didn’t want them.”
“But they wanted you. Time is not something you give back. The very next moment may be an answer to
your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of the future.”
“What’s that?”
“Hope.”
Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper

“I would rather have your friendship than the love of any other woman in the world.”
Anne Brontë, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
