I'm saying that a lot of Christians want to be recognized for their godliness, and a lot of people mistake the recognition for godliness itself. - Donald Miller

Many of our attempts to understand Christian faith have only cheapened it. I can no more understand the totality of God that the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me. The little we do understand, that grain of sand our minds are capable of grasping, those ideas such as God is good, God feels, God loves, God knows all, are enough to keep our hearts dwelling on His majesty and otherness forever.

I think the things we want most in life, the things we think will set us free, are not the things we need.

I don't mean any disrespect. I truly don't. But Texas isn't nature. Texas is city and smog and humidity and heat.
