Literature (197)
  1. “It’s bigger on the inside” is not only an evocative literary device, it is also a phrase heavy laden with Good News found in the true story of Christianity, especially at Christmas.
  2. True freedom, Luther discovered, is found in Jesus crucified who sets us free.
  3. Fairy tales are but one chapter in the book we call storytelling. We may prefer reading other kinds of stories (mystery, science fiction, and so on).
  4. Not long ago I was having a conversation with a friend. She was facing a big decision about her career with a deadline looming for a decision.
  5. I love books. I love authors. I love the way putting words down on paper incarnates ideas that might otherwise remain ghosts of the mind, flitting here and there in our gray matter.
  6. Before long I was deeply involved in the trilogy (the reader is invariably "drawn into" the story in a unique way, and for a good reason as we shall see).
  7. Warning, Remember, O man, that thou art dust… And lust, he mocks in mute self-condemnation.
  8. As it turned out, the novels in which I had sought escape, became part of the means whereby the Lord rescued me from my own death.
  9. With but a donkey's jawbone He whacked a thousand men And iced yet even more
  10. As God is prone to do, He sometimes shows us who He is through people whom we would never think of as teachers, much less imitators of God.
  11. Over time, any inclination the cupbearer might have to speak a good word to Pharaoh on Joseph’s behalf will seem less and less of a moral necessity.
  12. I pray Thy name be hallowed, Lord, But want my name to be adored.
