• In a time when everything can be next day and ordered and put on credit and paid for, music to me is promise, all promise, very little realization.

  John Mayer

  Next Day, Guitar, Ideas

• God has called us into a place of tenderness, when nobody is looking, when there are no great decisions to make, when it’s just him and me in a hotel room, with no one to pray for, no one to preach to. When it is just two people in a room, that’s where you learn. That’s where you learn his heartbeat. That’s where you learn the presence. That’s where you learn the voice. It’s in the moments when nobody is watching, nobody is evaluating how good you’re doing. When it is just you and him.
