"Being a writer and being a pastor are virtually the same thing for me:  an entrance into chaos." -- Eugene Peterson

"No matter how much you have grown, God is not content for you to remain as you are; and no matter how little you have grown, He has not given up on you. He wants to liberate you more and more from any inner chains that bind you and deform you -- chains of hostility or resentment, of self-blame or regrets, of anxiety or fear, chains of inferior or superior feelings." -- Warren and Ruth Myers in 'Discovering God's Will'
