A personal offense is like a scratch on a phonograph record. I couldn't move my thoughts beyond my pain. It kept repeating, as if I were stuck within its grooves. There was only one way to play beyond it. I had to forgive them, so my heart could take its form again.

I want the privilege of guiding the arrows of my children and giving them the exhortations that can shoot them into the high place.

I wonder if we climb to heaven over the ruins of many cherished schemes.

(Home) is you in things.

When lost, I look for gas stations for counsel.

Marriage is the learning of someone else's habits.

Life and death in a relationship depend on attitudes.
