- Comment: Dallas encouraged us to go skipping. I have enjoyed skipping and saying, “I am the one Jesus loves.”
- Quote: “The life that intends to be wholly obedient, wholly submissive, wholly listening, is astonishing in its completeness. Its joys are ravishing, its peace profound, its humility the deepest, its power world-shaking, its love enveloping, its simplicity that of a trusting child.” Thomas R. Kelly
- Comment: I think Dallas Willard said that, while we can’t be thankful for everything, we can find something in everything to be thankful for.
- Quote: “When we feel joy, it is a place of incredible vulnerability — it’s beauty and fragility and deep gratitude and impermanence all wrapped up in one experience.”
