“At day’s end I’m ready for sound sleep, For you, GOD, have put my life back together.”
Eugene H. Peterson, The Daily Message

Habeeb Akande
“I may not be where I want to be but I'm thankful for not being where I used to be.”
Habeeb Akande

William Wordsworth
“Rest and be thankful.”
William Wordsworth

Eugene H. Peterson
“We live in what one writer has called the "age of sensation."' We think that if we don't feel something there can be no authenticity in doing it. But the wisdom of God says something different: that we can act ourselves into a new way of feeling much quicker than we can feel ourselves into a new way of acting. Worship is an act that develops feelings for God, not a feeling for God that is expressed in an act of worship. When we obey the command to praise God in worship, our deep, essential need to be in relationship with God is nurtured.”
Eugene H. Peterson, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction: Discipleship in an Instant Society

Eugene H. Peterson
“THE PUZZLE IS WHY SO MANY PEOPLE LIVE so badly. Not so wickedly, but so inanely. Not so cruelly, but so stupidly. There is little to admire and less to imitate in the people who are prominent in our culture. We have celebrities but not saints. Famous entertainers amuse a nation of bored insomniacs. Infamous criminals act out the aggressions of timid conformists. Petulant and spoiled athletes play games vicariously for lazy and apathetic spectators. People, aimless and bored, amuse themselves with trivia and trash. Neither the adventure of goodness nor the pursuit of righteousness gets headlines.”
Eugene H. Peterson, Run with the Horses: The Quest for Life at Its Best
