"Love is inefficient; you cannot love efficiently."
"When I run fast, I feel God's pleasure." — James Kwon (referencing "Chariots of Fire")
"Work can be worship. Work should be worship."
"If the Lord chose me to do that for that person, in a way that they could experience the love and the light and Jesus's grace, mercy, kindness, or the love that can only come from the Father through the interaction, then isn't it worth it?"
