Unless we believe that God renews creation every day, our prayers grow habitual and tedious.

Everybody is unique. Compare not yourself with anybody else lest you spoil God's curriculum.

If the Bible didn't show us the weaknesses, the vulnerabilities, the sins of our heroes, we might have deep questions about their true virtue.

We should not laugh at the person who becoming caught up in his prayer bends his body or moves about in strange ways. Perhaps he moves in this manner to wave off unwelcome thoughts that would interrupt the prayer. Would we find it funny if we saw a person drowning going through strange motions doing whatever was necessary to save his life?

He who is full of joy is full of love.

Forgetfulness leads to exile while remembrance is the secret of redemption.

Mind is the foundation of man.
