One For Darin (who can't seem to keep caught up on this thing):

And one from Darin (because he sent me the coolest email today):

Don Miller is AMAZING!

he just puts things SO beautifully and reasons like I reason.  he takes all that I want to say about Christianity and puts it into the most wonderful stories and words.  i love him for putting my thoughts into his words.

here's my recent favorite quote:

"But what we really need is God.  What we really need is somebody who loves us so much we don't worry about death, about hair thinning, about other drivers pulling in front of us on the road, about whether people are rich, good looking or ugly, about whether we feel lonely or about whether or not we are wearing clothes.  We need this; we need this so we can love other people purely and not for selfish gain, we need this so we can see everybody as equals, we need this so our relationships can be sincere, we need this so we can stop kicking ourselves around, we need this so we can lose all self-awareness and find ourselves for the first time, not by realizing some dream, but by being told who we are by the only Being who has the authority to know, by that I mean the Creator."

how wonderfully simple it is, and he's so right.  I can't wait for you to read this book.  it's lovely!

I love you!  Donald Miller can never change that!
