Authentic Christianity should lead to maturity, personality, and reality. It should fashion whole men and women living lives of love and communion

Shame--what happened when my mother, the dragon, huffed and puffed and blew my self down.

The Good News of the gospel of grace cries out: We are all, equally, privileged but unentitled beggars at the door of God's mercy!

May all your expectations be frustrated, may all your plans be thwarted, may all your desires be withered into nothingness, that you may experience the powerlessness and poverty of a child and sing and dance in the love of God who is the Father, Son and Spirit.

Define yourself radically as one beloved by God. This is the true self. Every other identity is illusion.

A saint is not someone who is good but who experiences the goodness of God.

That which is denied cannot be healed.
