Good Words from Good Books

"We've achieved the right level of order when we can find what we need, feel good in our space, and don't feel hindered by stuff."  p. xviii "Outer order isn't a matter of having less or having more; it's a matter of wanting what we have."  p. 19 "When trying to decide the fate of your possessions, ask yourself: Do I need it? Do I love it? Do I use it? For any possessions that pass this test, ask one more additional questions: Where does it belong?" p. 8-9 "Counterintuitively, it's easier--and also more fun--to put things away in an exact  place rather than a general place."  p. 74

"We would identify ourselves simply by how we loved people."  p. 2 "We can bring all the game we've got, but only Jesus has the power to call out of us the kind of courage it takes to live the life He talked about."  p. 20 "It's how we deal with the trolls in our lives that will let us know how far along we are in our faith."  p. 41-42 "Obeying Jesus is the kind of decision that is made thirty seconds at a time."  (paraphrased) p. 54 "The beautiful message of Jesus is His invitation to everyone that they can trade in who they used to be for who God sees them becoming."  p. 112 "Loving people the way Jesus did means living a life filled with constant interruptions...Be excessively available, and you'll be like Jesus."  p. 149
