Yesterday I realized that I’ve been living with a wrong view of time. At
some point I began to see myself as having very little time, and began to
ration it out sparingly. There are only two kinds of things that aren’t in
danger of being squeezed out of my schedule when I live with this view:
things that are of ultimate importance, and things that are ultimately
selfish. And since I can’t see the future and tend to undervalue the
difference I can make, even the first category gets squeezed.

If you succeed at the wrong thing, you’ve failed.
The Christian recognizes that our real problem is not in achieving freedom but in learning service under a better master. -E. Peterson
Ambition is the way in which a vulgar man aspires.
God does not treat us according to our deserts, but according to his plan. He is not a police officer… He is a potter. - E. Peterson
