I am convinced the Church is the greatest hope for humanity and for creating a new world where everyone is valued and embraced regardless of differences.

It is amazing where God will take you when you are willing to follow. Life is full of surprises when we choose mystery over security.

We are all hypocrites in transition. I am not who I want to be, but I am on the journey there, and thankfully I am not whom I used to be.

The church does not exist for us. We are the church, and we exist for the world.

I think a lot of us are not on a path; we're in a rut. We have confused comfort with peace, belief with faith, safety with wisdom, wealth with blessing, and existence with life.

God gives God-sized dreams to people with God-shaped hearts.

It is insanity to run from God and search for love.

The person who loves the process has a much greater chance of success than the person who loves the outcome.

The limitations you are willing to accept establish the boundaries of your existence.

Home is ultimately not about a place to live but about the people with whom you are most fully alive. Home is about love, relationship, community, and belonging, and we are all searching for home.

Your dreams are the product of your longings, a portrait of your potential, and a promise of your future.

No doubt one may quote history to support any cause, as the devil quotes scripture.

Are we still a country that takes risks, that innovates, that believes anything is possible? Or are we a country that is resigned to whatever liberty the government decides to dish out?

I would probably say David Bowie and Prince are the perfect people. They dress feminine/masculine and they're really sexy. Not many people can wear high heels and look sexier than a woman!

Taking the photograph is the easiest part for me

The longer I live the more conscious I am of human frailty, and of the constant, overwhelming need we all have of God’s grace.

A prolonged war in which a nation takes part is bound to impoverish the breed, since the character of the breed depends on the men who are left.

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

You kind of have to have a cynical thing sometimes.

All the Frank O'Hara types seem to have very little sound stuff going... it's so chatty or something.
