My heart is consumed for a friend. This friend's son is graduating from highschool tonight. Next week he is off to boot camp as he has joined the Marines. He is a fine young man.
It makes me think of how it goes too fast. Honestly, there are times I think this is never going to end, but the reality is I never want it to. I selfishly want to keep them here and mine forever. But even more, I want them to fly, to dream, to change, to grow, to live.

Words That Stir My Heart
"Even in childhood was implanted within me a trace of that mysterious unity from which I was derived" St. Augustine
Everybody has to change or they expire. Everybody has to leave, leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons. I want to keep my soul fertile for the changes, so things keep getting born in me, so things keep dying when it is time for things to die. I want to keep walking away from the person I was a moment ago. Only a good story has a character different at the end than it was in the beginning.

Donald Miller
"Our whole life was only given to us to advance us by great strides toward our heavenly country."
Lancelot Andrews
In my life, God is always changing the way I think of Him. I am not saying God Himself is changing, or that my theology is open and I blur the lines on truth; I am only saying I think I know who He is, then I figure out I don't know very much at all.
Searching For God Knows What

A proud man is always looking down on things and people: and of course, as long as you are looking down, you cannot see something that is above you.
Mere Christianity
C.S. Lewis
