Serving Others

But Joy Costs Pain

Posted on July 1, 2010 at 8:17am. No Comments

I just finished reading Donald Miller’s (he wrote Blue Like Jazz which I recommend) new book A Million Miles in a Thousand Years.  I won’t go into a full review because I think I am still processing much of the book which honestly can take me a while.  I will say that I laughed a lot which is always a bonus.

What I thought I would do is share two quotes from the book that stood out.

People love to have lived a great story, but few people like the work it takes to make it happen.  But Joy costs pain.

Humans are designed to seek comfort and order, and so if they have comfort and order, they tend to plant themselves, even if their comfort isn’t all that comfortable.  And even if they secretly want for something better.

Deep thoughts to say the least.

God Bless,
RJ
