“Good games let you do something meaningful inside the game world, change something, and in the changing, the player is also transformed somehow. Comes out different than they were when they pressed start.”

It’s like this author had two separate stories she was writing. Then she started writing a third, realized it was a perfect connector of the two, then shoved them all together. It’s not too bad, but I find the stark contrast between the stories to be a little jarring. Even in writing quality.

“You make my life worth something” this astronaut who’s literally making history says to a child. I’m sick.

“Just the act of falling in love was to agree to a broken heart.” Well-

Oh nvm she believes the nature is God thing… JK!!

“I want to take you everywhere, and do everything with you, and ask you every single question that’s been on my mind for months, and I want to know when you knew what was happening between us, and I want to tell you when I knew, and I want to hold your hand in a quiet corner, and I want to hear your heartbeat through your chest

“Boyfriend didn’t seem to cover it. Elliot was kind of my Every friend.”

“The whole time he updates me, all I can think is that I’m getting the cream, skim from the top. Beneath it is still so much. Volumes of tiny details I’ve missed.”

“The loud, boisterous noises of the world, make us deaf to the soft, gentle, and loving voice of God. A Christian leader is called to help people to hear that voice and be so comforted and consoled.”

“It seems easier to be God than to love God, easier to control people than to love people, easier to own life than to love life.”

“Laying down your life means making your own faith and doubt, hope and despair, joy and sadness, courage and fear available to others as ways of getting in touch with the Lord of life. We are not healers. We are not reconcilers. We are not givers of life. We are sinful, broken, vulnerable people who need as much care as anyone we care for.

“Christian leaders cannot simply be persons who have well-informed opinions about the burning issues of our time. Their leadership must be rooted in the permanent intimate relationship with the incarnate Word, Jesus, and they need to find there the source for their words, advice and guidance.”

“The radical good news is that the second love is only a broken reflection of the first love, and that the first love is offered to us by a God in whom there are no shadows. Jesus‘s heart is the incarnation of the shadow-free first love of God”

“The Christian leader of the future is the one who truly knows the heart of God, as it has become flesh, ‘a heart of flesh,’ in Jesus.”

It’s like playing a video game but it’s a book
