Sin and grace, absence and presence, tragedy and comedy, they divide the world between them and where they meet head on, the Gospel happens.
Frederick BuechnerIf you want to talk about grace, if you want to talk about revelation, talk about your life with some depth, which doesn't mean lurid revelations as much as simply looking at your own deep experiences and describing them as they are.
Frederick BuechnerYou can survive on your own; you can grow strong on your own; you can prevail on your own; but you cannot become human on your own.
