“Yes, you can't see Him, but you can hear Him in the depths, in the secret place. He speaks to us in a way that rattles our very core. We only have to get quiet enough to listen.”

“When he'd read those stories, he imagined himself as Odysseus, off on grand adventures, longing to return to Penelop at hom. As a teen, he believed he could become a brave hero one day, as long as there was a faithful woman by his side. . .

“Why do things happen the way they do? I don't know. But if I've learned anything in all of this, it's that life moves. It lives, it breathes, it changes. Not always in ways that we like, although those times come around again, too. It's a big messy swirl of joy and pain, good times and bad and when we think we've got it figured out and find a little piece of driftwood to cling to, the current shifts again. . . I don't know anything, but if you're asking for advice, I'm gonna tell you not to fight for control. Live in the moments that you find yourself with. Make the most of them, and when the currents shift, hold on to the One who never changes." He pointed heavenward.”
