I urge you a nearer communion with Christ, and a growing communion. There are curtains to be opened in Christ that we have never seen before. . . Therefore dig deep, and sweat, and labor. Take pains for Him, and set aside as much time as you can in each day for Him.

We read novels because we need stories; we crave them; we can’t live without telling them and hearing them. Stories are how we make sense of our lives and of the world. When we’re distressed and go to therapy, our therapist’s job is to help us tell our story. Life doesn’t come with plots; it’s messy and chaotic; life is one damn, inexplicable thing after another. And we can’t have that. We insist on meaning. And so we tell stories so that our lives make sense.
