Gratitude changes your perspective about life. You see the future, experience the present, and remember the past in a dramatically different way.

Deeper than our instinct to live is our longing to be alive.

We need to advocate for social justice and reform so that all minorities are protected not only under the law but more importantly by our cultural values and ethic. The law cannot change the human heart. Government is limited in its ability to effect culture. This is the role and responsibility of the Church. Only Jesus can move us from hate to love.

The future belongs to those who have the courage to create it. We need a new humanity. We need a new expression of community. We need the Church to bring the world together. This makes me excited.

A life well lived is the most exquisite work of art.

We are all hypocrites in transition. I am not who I want to be, but I am on the journey there, and thankfully I am not whom I used to be.

Faith is the determination to create with our lives what only our hearts can conceive.
