Today's quotes of the day comes from Josh Crain's favorite (or at least he mentions him a lot), Greg Boyd. I finally picked up one of his books, which turns out to be letters written between him and his father. His father, for about 70 years of his life, was an agnostic, and the letters are a discussion between father and son about why Jesus works. I'm only forty-four pages in, but it's a quote like this that makes me think this book is a gold mine:

"We are all in the process of solidifying our identities by the decisions we make."

..and along the same lines..

"The more we choose something, the harder it is to choose otherwise, until we are finally solidified--eternalized--in our decision. The momentum of our character becomes unstoppable."

Discuss.
