When he opens the door, I step in and an army of memories comes at me from all sides.

Three boys. Three deaths. One school. We've made the national news. Is out school cursed? Are we a reckless bunch of fools? The media asks questions no one can answer. Kids can't stop crying.

I'm glad for the rain...It's good camouflage.

See that's exactly why I don't want a dog." "Why?" "Because it'll just die." "Everybody dies, Brooklyn." Like that makes it okay or something.

Ill lose myself in the pain. It might not make sense. But it works.

After Lucca died, everything shut down. I couldn't eat. I couldn't sleep. I couldn't talk. Somehow they got me on the plane and back home.

And years from now, you may not remember exactly what you ate.But you’ll remember who you ate with.

I know. You can be fine, and then, out of nowhere, a memory blindsides you.

He was a character.A character who should still be here. Damn it all to hell.He should still be here.

I look at him and realize, maybe I overreacted. Maybe more than once.

I know it's not the end...it's only just the beginning.

Religion is more than rite and ritual.

No religion is higher than humanity.

I'm not interested in how things were, or how we ended up where we are now. What interests me is what we are now and what we will be.

Catch-and-release, that's like running down pedestrians in your car and then, when they get up and limp away, saying -- 'Off you go! That's fine. I just wanted to see if I could hit you.'

The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayer, buy unoffered prayer.

Stuttering is painful. In Sunday school, I'd try to read my lessons, and the children behind me were falling on the floor with laughter.

We are not saved by feelings of sorrow over Jesus' death. We are saved when the Word of God 'pierces' our hearts (Hebrews 4:12), when we are convicted of our sins and trust Christ by faith.

We do more ready-to-wear and ath-leisure, things you would wear everyday. I never close my mind to anything and eventually want to branch out. But for now, tennis is still number one for me.

My one ambition is to play a hero.

He laughed like an irresponsible foetus.
