Release what is good.

When I pray for another person, I am praying for God to open my eyes so that I can see that person as God does, and then enter into the stream of love that God already directs toward that person.

I have learned that faith means trusting in advance what will make sense only in reverse.

Yet as I read the birth stories about Jesus I cannot help but conclude that though the world may be tilted toward the rich and powerful, God is tilted toward the underdog.

In a nutshell, the Bible from Genesis 3 to Revelation 22 tells the story of a God reckless with desire to get his family back.

Grace, like water, flows to the lowest part.

The proof of spiritual maturity is not how pure you are but awareness of your impurity. That very awareness opens the door to grace.

Any discussion of how pain and suffering fit into God's scheme ultimately leads back to the cross.

No one ever converted to Christianity because they lost the argument.

In the stories of extravagant grace given to us by Jesus, there are no loopholes disqualifying us from God's love.

I doubt God keeps track of how many arguments we win; God may indeed keep track of how well we love.

Life is a journey worth making.

Men. Do they all evade as first line of defense?

Mockery ends where understanding begins.

The most distinguished persons become more revolutionary as they grow older.

It takes two to make a murder. There are born victims, born to have their throats cut, as the cut-throats are born to be hanged.

Baking isLife. So when you describe what you're making, you must describe life. Do you see? It's not just recipes.

I think 'growing up' would mean that you are incredibly tolerant and easygoing, liked everything, curious about the world because you weren't so egotistically driven.

To kill your enemy is not a victory; but to make your enemy your friend that is a victory!

There is a time in every man's education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide.

It wouldn't be New Year's without a resolution. I've resolved to take a moment every day for the rest of my life to appreciate what I have.
