• In that inevitable, excruciatingly human moment, we are offered a powerful choice. This choice is perhaps one of the most vitally important choices we will ever make, and it determines the course of our lives from that moment forward. The choice is this: Will we interpret this loss as so unjust, unfair, and devastating that we feel punished, angry, forever and fatally wounded-- or, as our heart, torn apart, bleeds its anguish of sheer, wordless grief, will we somehow feel this loss as an opportunity to become more tender, more open, more passionately alive, more grateful for what remains?

Know what you know and care about the person, care about what you know and care about the person you're sharing with.

• We are warned by the Word both of our duty, our danger, and our remedy.

• What it comes down to, I believe, is that mentoring often involves telling people what they need to hear, rather than what they want to hear.
