Stories are like children. They grow in their own way.

When I look at the galaxies on a clear night - when I look at the incredible brilliance of creation, and think that this is what God is like, then instead of feeling intimidated and diminished by it, I am enlarged . . . I rejoice that I am a part of it.

One cannot be humble and aware of oneself at the same time.

God promised to make you free. He never promised to make you independent.

Holiness ... is nothing we can *do* ... It is gift, sheer gift, waiting there to be recognized and received. We do not have to be qualified to be holy. We do not have to be qualified to be whole, or healed.Made

I wish that we worried more about asking the right questions instead of being so hung up on finding answers.

The best way to guide children without coercion is to be ourselves.
