“Stop trying to ‘get it together’. The biggest lie we’re told when we’re growing up is that soon as we’re adults, as soon as we’re in college, finish college, get that job, have that steady income, find that someone special, ‘find ourselves’, find that perfect house, get that retirement fund, have those children, everything will fall into place. Here’s a secret: it won’t. Every new development in your life, good or bad, big or small, will come with its own very special set of challenges. The sooner you accept that, the better off you’ll be.”

“To hold our tongues when everyone is gossiping, to smile without hostility at people and institutions, to compensate for the shortage of love in the world with more love in small, private matters; to be more faithful in our work, to show greater patience, to forgo the cheap revenge obtainable from mockery and criticism: all these are things we can do.”

“

I don’t want to leave a legacy that is my own, for if I do leave a legacy of my own, it will be twisted and selfish, it will not stand the test of time. But if I leave a legacy that is wrapped up in Christ, then it will be remembered eternally as good and all that is wholesome.

Christ doesn’t just save us from sin, He calls us to His promise and restores our dreams and makes them worth living. He allows us to leave an eternal legacy, because we are allowed to share in His glory.

“If you want to talk to people about Jesus, you need credibility. That doesn’t mean being perfect, that doesn’t mean knowing the whole Bible, it means living out what you’re saying. I can’t count the number of Christians who drone on about the sanctity of marriage and have crappy marriages. Walk with the Lord in truth and people will get a jealousy for that life, they will come to you to ask you how to pull that off.”

“Jesus is the author and the finisher. He doesn’t just get you started; he completes what he began. This is why old Christians need the gospel just as much as young sinners. Grace is for everyone. Grace saves you at the beginning and it keeps you through to the end.”

““I’m a reader and a storyteller, and God chose literature and story and poetry as the languages of my spiritual text. To me, the Bible is a manifesto, a guide, a love letter, a story. To me, life with God is prismatic, shocking, demanding, freeing. It’s the deepest stream, the blood in my veins, the stories and words of my dreams and my middle-of-the-night prayers. I am still surprised on a regular basis at the love I feel for the spirit of God, the deep respect and emotion that I experience when I see an expanse of water or a new baby or the kindness of strangers.””

It was a hot August day and I had been out making the rounds, and I was sweaty because in those days you had to wear your high heels and your gloves and everything. I went into my agent’s office because it had air conditioning, and I was sitting out talking to my friend who was the receptionist. What looked like an ad for an ice cream soda, there was Paul in a seersucker suit, which looked so pristine, and his shirt, no sweat, big blue eyes, lots of curly hair and everything, and I thought… ugh! Oh that’s disgusting!” —Joanne Woodward (on seeing Paul for the first time)
