“That’s why we need a friend whom we’ve given permission to tell us like it is—no matter what. Even if we refuse to listen at first, we all need a friend who will tell us when we’re neglecting our family for work. A friend who will say something when our spending gets out of control. A friend who will challenge us to do more than just come to church a few weekends a month. A friend who will question a new relationship we’re beginning.”
― Kyle Idleman, 40 Days to Lasting Change: An AHA Challenge

“You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
