Suffering attracts fixers the way road-kills attract vultures.

Our Father in heaven, Reveal who you are. Set the world right; Do what's best - As above, so below. Keep us alive with three square meals. Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others. Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil. You're in charge!

Sloth is most often evidenced in busyness ... in frantic running around, trying to be everything to everyone, and then having no time to listen or pray, no time to become the person who is doing these things.

Worship does not satisfy our hunger for God; it whets our appetite.

I will not try to run my own life or the lives of others; that is God's business.

Sabbath is that uncluttered time and space in which we can distance ourselves from our own activities enough to see what God is doing.

The silence that makes it possible to hear God speak also makes it possible for us to hear the world's words for what they really are - tinny and unconvincing lies.
