“A cross is not where you go to work out, as if to build up what is already there. A cross is where you go to die, which is the final negation of the sin-riddled nature we inherit from Adam.”

“I'll go over again and again until I've finally crossed to where he is”

“I cross myself and close my eyes. Where we go next, we go together.”

“In the next moment he was behind me, crossing his arms around my middle. “I go where you go.”

“We make time for what we truly value. We build habits and routines around the things that really matter to us. This is an important principle to understand as we seek to build our lives around the gospel. Do you want a cross centered life? A cross centered life is made up of cross centered days.”

“Now we are going to make a new-way path. So you take a shovel, you take a ground-haker, you take a hairpin and you start digging. And you dig in all directions: up and down, in and out, right and left. Not in a straight line. Nothing natural or interesting goes in a straight line. As a matter of fact, it is the quickest way to the wrong place. And don't pretend you know where you are going. Because if you know where you are going, that means you've been there, and you are going to end up exactly where you came from.”
