The abundance of our lives is not determined by how long we live, but how well we live. Christ makes abundant life possible if we choose to live it now.

When I say I trust Jesus, that is what I mean: I trust that the way of life leads through perishability, not around it.

That's enough, and I have a ministry as a neighbor as well. A ministry as a friend and a ministry as an aunt and a godmother, and family is very much in the circle of my vocation.

The only real difference between Anxiety and Excitement was my willingness to let go of Fear.

Earth is so thick with divine possibility that it is a wonder we can walk anywhere without cracking our shins on altars.

It does seem to me that at least some of us have made an idol of exhaustion. The only time we know we have done enough is when we are running on empty and when the ones we love most are the ones we see the least.

I think a toxic message in a lot of Christianity has been that the self has to be annihilated in order for God to be found. I think that has been a toxic message.
