"Unmediated joy was nowadays unfashionable."

-- Gail Jones

“There are a few things that you can do that will yield better results than doing a whole lot of other things.”
“I want a lifetime of holy moments. Every day I want to be in dangerous proximity to Jesus. I long for a life that explodes with meaning and is filled with adventure, wonder, risk, and danger. I long for a faith that is gloriously treacherous. I want to be with Jesus, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.”

“Daddy had a farm - cows, pigs, OK, a big garden, OK? We did live off the land, and then we would supplement all that with whatever we could kill or catch. Whether we'd kill squirrels, deer, duck, or caught catfish or brim, that was what went on the table.”
“There is no loneliness like the loneliness of crowds, especially to those who are unaccustomed to them.”
“I knew I was strong, and maybe like they said, "crazy." But I had this feeling inside of me that something real was there.”
“Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance.”
“I hope to inspire people, influence people.”
“I also love Mole, the unsung hero of reality programming.”
