...I want my spirituality to rid me of hate, not give me reason for it.

I'm not a pastor; I've never been on staff at a church.

I have sometimes wondered if the greatest desire of man is to be known and loved anyway.

Imagine, a Being with a mind as great as God's, with feet like trees and a voice like rushing wind, telling you that you are His cherished creation.

I took William Zinsser's advice that you write to yourself and you hope that there are people out there who are like you.

If you want to bond with your friends, do something very hard with them, something that you won't be able to do alone.

The most difficult lie I have ever contended with is this: life is a story about me.
