More From John Green

To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).

Something i've always known about the screen is that if it's anything in the world, it's literal. it's so literal that there's a whole lot you can't do because you're stuck with the literalness of the screen. the stage is not literal.

The idea of a spiritual heart transplant is a vivid image to me; once you have the heart of somebody else inside you, then that heart is there. jesus' heart is inside me, and my heart is gone. so if god were to place a stethoscope against my chest, he would hear the heart of jesus christ beating.
Spiritual Jesus Heart
We americans commercialize everything. look at what we did to christmas. christmas is jesus' birthday. now, i don't know jesus, but from what i read he was the least materialistic person who ever walked the earth. no bling on jesus. he kept a low profile and we turned his birthday into the most commercial day of the year. in fact we have a whole jesus birthday season. and then at the end of it, we have the nerve to have an economist come on tv and say what a horrible jesus birthday season we had.

To be good christians you have to contemplate the suffering humanity of jesus. "how can we bear witness? contemplate jesus. how can we forgive? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we not hate our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. how can we avoid gossiping about our neighbor? contemplate jesus suffering. there is no other way". these virtues are the those of the father, who forgives us always, and our lady, our mother, shares in these virtues too.
Christian Mother Jesus
This kingdom of god life is not a matter of waking up each morning with a list of chores or an agenda to be tended to, left on our bedside table by the holy spirit for us while we slept. we wake up already immersed in a large story of creation and covenant, of israel and jesus, the story of jesus and the stories that jesus told. we let ourselves be formed by these formative stories, and especially as we listen to the stories that jesus tells, get a feel for the way he does it, the way he talks, the way he treats people, the jesus way.

I had three children while doing a show, as demanding as 'good morning america,' so this is - you know, it's almost like i'm less daunted about motherhood, and parenting at this point in time. and i think i'm just much more fit and healthy than i was 20-years-ago.

Nobody has time to keep trying on a load of things in the morning like a teenager.

Let every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life, and every setting sun be to you as its close: — then let every one of these short lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing done for others — some goodly strength or knowledge gained for yourselves.
Morning Short Life Dawn
None of it gets to be 'old stuff', for it is christ in print, the living word. we wouldn't think of rising in the morning without a facewash, but we often neglect that purgative cleansing of the word of the lord. it wakes us up to our responsibility
