Great quotes from Sam:

For a long time I resisted faith because it might mean my dad was right.

If my dad loves me half as much as I love this kid, I’ve undersold him.

If you put eternity in our hearts, we’re looking for where he shows up as soon as possible.

My biggest challenge as a dad is trying to prolong credibility with my kids as long as I can.
