I love this quote. Its well known of course, but considering what an incredibly sacrificial life he lived, it is all that more profound. Something worth writing somewhere to reflect on...


"He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose."

I came across this quote a long while ago and found it quite true of my own life. As Melissa and I were meeting with Rita yesterday, the Treasures weren't far from my mind. I miss them so much and look forward to returning home in a couple months with Melissa by my side. Spend time with kids... its good for you.


"The soul is healed by being with children."

-Fyodor Dostoevsky

Don Miller Quote

"If we are preaching morality without Christ, and using war rhetoric to communicate a battle mentality, we are fighting on Satan's side. This battle we are in is a battle against the principalities of darkness, not against people who are different from us. In war you shoot the enemy, not the hostage."

-Donald Miller
