Sometimes it can be really hard in our fast paced society to slow ourselves down enough to begin to listen to God's voice. The dilemma exists in my position as well. To be a follower of Christ is to emulate Him. When He went off alone into the desert to pray, He was teaching a valuable lesson.

The easiest thing to do is throw a rock. It's a lot harder to create a stained glass window. I used to get upset at the people who threw rocks but now I'd rather spend my time building the stained glass windows.

The beauty of what I read in the gospel is the intimacy of what we're called to, that there's no middle man.

That's what life is, a continual state of journey. You are a river passing downstream.

Life tears at us and scars us as children so we adopt facades and masks to hide this part of us, to keep this sacred part of ourselves from the pain.

If comparison is the thief of joy, then our culture is being robbed blind.

If you're leaving your family behind, you better believe in what you're singing.
