But... that's so boring! I guess we only see the end result (ie that book or piece of art or great business) and assume overnight success. Why does it have to be so hard?!

I hope "The War of Art" is 1/10th as long as The Art of War. Then I will read it.

Also... Hemingway used to write for 3-5 hours every morning without fail, for decades. He did good work.

Man, that's a good quote ;) (but seriously, I'm blushing). Solid formula, by the way. I heart simplicity.

And nice usage of the word "eh"!

Lol Jer, I'm glad to "diddy" for you anytime :)

I really like that idea too- building something a brick at a time. I can see the end result...better get started!

I don't think most Christians have ever consciously processed the miracles of Scripture. If we truly believed, we'd act!

Great thoughts Ben. I guess I'm just hoping that we, as Christ-followers, will really think consciously about what we actually believe. Because if we truly believed that Jesus walked on water, than Jonah survived a whale, that the seas parted...wouldn't we be absolutely MIND-BLOWNED?!

Hello "GSM" (dude, use your real name, I don't bite),

Wait what? Where did I say that encouraging people NOT to masturbate is a gateway to sex? If anything, all forms of lust are a slippery slope. Sin always takes us farther than we want to go.

Sometimes guilt reminds us that we're walking down the wrong path. My hope is that young men would come to repentance of the lust that's trying to ruin their lives.

The goal isn't "not masturbate" or "save sex for marriage." The goal is sexual purity.

I should also mentioned that while in the jungle, I got pneumonia and Michelle got bronchitis and we both got shots in the butt!

Auntie Nyree you're making me feel like a lousy "nephew"!!! Love ya.

Thanks James! We're trying to do both! As Rob Bell says, "our duty is to be as HUMAN as possible!"

One of your best James, thanks for this! -Michelle
