If you want to know anything about community, you have to realize that the contemplative side is essential. Community without retreating and quiet time never survives.

God wants you to live for others and to live that presence well.

Home is the center of my being where I can hear the voice that says: 'You are my Beloved, on you my favor rests' - the same voice that gave life to the first Adam and spoke to Jesus, the second Adam; the same voice that speaks to all the children of God and sets them free to live in the midst of a dark world while remaining in the light.

Too many of us are lonely ministers practicing a lonely ministry.

Aging does not need to be hidden or denied, but can be understood, affirmed and experienced as a process of growth by which the mystery of life is slowly revealed to us.

Our glory is hidden in our pain, if we allow God to bring the gift of himself in our experience of it.

You don't think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.
