Salvation happens every time someone with a key uses it to open a door he could lock instead.

Church can be extremely boring. It can be very meaningful, it can be character forming, but can be have very little fizz in it.

I'll do my best to always put God and neighbor ahead of ego, but I want to find myself, and if finding myself means losing my ego self, I'll go there.

I can't help but note that God is being useful to a lot of people trying to do harm to one another.

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.

The beauty in the losing is a loss finally of self-consciousness. There's a gorgeous moment that can happen in all kinds of places. It can happen with people, it can happen with nature, and it can happen with my eyes shut anywhere I am.
