3. The Abolition of Man
4. The Great Divorce
5. The Problem of Pain
6. Miracles
7. A Grief Observed
Psalm 90:14
Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love,
that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.
My, my, are my desires too weak.
I need You to cross my mind more all the time.
Psalm 89:8
O Lord God Almighty, who is like you?
You are mighty, O Lord, and your faithfulness surrounds you.

Day 10
One confession:
1. I’m really bad at confessions. I have a hard time admitting things to myself, much less other people.

First love?
You will never forget your first love. That’s what makes it so special. You love so hard, so deeply, and so intensely because you don’t know anything different. It’s the best until it’s over. Then you hurt like you’ve never been hurt before. Eventually you love again, but you love differently and you will love more carefully and more cautiously, continually comparing that person to your first...

mild he lays his glory by.
This line has been catching my eye this year. In fact, all the old Christmas songs have been offering a fresh insight into the story that I’ve heard so many times. So beautiful.
“As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything...”
– Kay Eiffel-Stranger than Fiction

Day 7
Four turn offs:
1. Ugly personality, e.g. mean, complaining, etc.
2. I don’t know how to put this nicely, but here goes: questionable sexuality.
3. Smoker or drug user (alcohol not so much if in moderation and legally).
4. Conventional.

Day 5
Six things I wish I’d never done:
1. Given up on you.
2. Ended my relationships more honorably and gracefully.
I don’t regret much, ‘cause “people talkin’ s*** but when the s*** hit the fan, everything I’m not made me everything I am.”
“God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially armed you to go through it, not...”
– C.S. Lewis (via iamlivingbyfaith)
Day 4
Seven things that cross my mind a lot:
1. Her (yeah, I’m being cliché—regrettably—but thinking about my future wife makes me all cliché and sentimental and whatever :x).
2. Being better.
3. “What’s the best way to phrase that?”
4. “I probably shouldn’t say that out loud.”
5. “Oops I just said that out loud.”
6. See number...
