“All our time spent making lists would be better spent painting, or writing, Or singing, or learning to speak stories. Sometimes I feel as though the Church has a kind of pity for Scripture, Always having to come behind it and explain everything, put everything into actionable steps, acronyms and hidden secrets, as though the original writers, and for that matter the Holy Spirit Who worked in the lives of the original writers, were a bunch of you literate hillbillies. I think the methodology God used to explain His Truth is quite superior. My life is a story, more than a list. I don't feel that a list could ever explain the complexity of all this beauty.”

“I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me”
Donald Miller“Reality is like a fine wine,” he said to me. “It will not appeal to children.”
Donald Miller, Searching for God Knows What“When I walked into the Christian section of a bookstore, the message was clear: Faith is something you do alone. Rick does not have much tolerance for people living alone. He’s like Bill Clinton in that he feels everyone’s pain. If Rick thinks somebody is lonely, he can’t sleep at night. He wants us all to live with each other and play nice so he can get some rest. Tortured soul.”
Donald Miller, Blue Like Jazz: Nonreligious Thoughts on Christian Spirituality“Meaning is something we experience more than we attain. It's like finding a nice, easy current in a river that carries you through life.”
Donald Miller“Sunday morning church service is not an enormous priority spending time with other believers is.”
Donald Miller“All this gave way to my first encounter with guilt, which is still something entirely inscrutable to me, as if aliens were sending transmissions from another planet, telling me there is a right and a wrong in the universe.”
Donald Miller“What if part of God's message to the world was you, the true and real you?”
Donald Miller“The problem is this: those of us who are never satisfied with our accomplishments secretly believe nobody will love us unless we’re perfect.”
Donald Miller“For a long time, I thought I was good at relationships because I was charming.”
Donald Miller“The downside of being a writer is you get plenty of time to overthink your life.”
