“How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think that life asks more of you than watching TV.”

“What's the point in being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? How very odd, to believe God gave you life, and yet not think that life asks more of you than watching TV.”

“We get to think of life as an inexhaustible well…How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.”

“Suppose you ask God for a miracle and God says yes, very well. How do you live the rest of your life?”

“You may be at odds with God right now. You're not happy with the way your life is turning out. You may be praying and pleading with God. But is it possible you don't really want God? Is it possible you just want what you think God can give you? One of the things I believe God is teaching me in my life these days is that at times we want our dreams more than we want God. We want what God does for us instead of just God.”

“You could lead your life as if the whole world were watching you on TV, or you could lead your life as if no one is watching you – same thing.”
