Some quotable goodness from the Blogosphere:

"What we call 'morality' is God's way of creating a livable world and a life we're glad to have." - Weekend Fisher.

"I have to put myself in locations conducive to spiritual nourishment" - Jared. This one seems straightforward, but it had me doing the "I coulda had a V-8" noggin-smack. Living with intentionality. Yes, yes, 1,000 times, yes.

"Do you think David was afraid when he faced Goliath? I mean, the verses don't give us much insight into his emotions. I don't think he was, because he was a pretty rad dude. I think, like Ace of Bass, he 'saw the sign and it opened up his eyes.' I think like Christian Hosoi or Tony Hawk on a half pipe, he was ready to get gnarly. And when Goliath challenged him he thought, 'can I beat this guy?' No doy!" - Stuff Christians Like (doing an impression of a 1990's youth pastor "speaking the young people's language")

I might say, "This person is GOOD because he is who he is." God would judge, "this person is not good because he is not who I am." - Lauren, on right judgement.

"Halfway Christianity is the most miserable existence of all. Halfway Christians know enough to feel guilty about themselves but haven’t gone far enough to get happy in Christ. Wholehearted Christianity is very happy." - Roy Ortlund (from a post in memory of his father) - h/t The Spyglass.

And, finally, this one sums up my feelings exactly (and, no, I'm not anti-environmental. I'm just pro-seriousness and anti-chicken-little-ism): “I’ll believe climate change is a crisis when the people who say it’s a crisis start acting like it’s a crisis.” - Planet Gore.
