I think I would like to be a monk. I really considered Catholicism a few years ago, but there were some things that I just couldnt reconcile.

God loves us completely. And He knew us at our worst before He ever began to love us at all.

I have no physical genius about me. I cant dribble a ball and run at the same time, I cant do lay-ups - Im not an athlete. But my experience as a kid was, I was made fun of so much that what I did then, is, I wouldnt participate. And I think I cheated myself out of a lot of fun.

So go out and live real good and I promise you'll get beat up real bad. But, in a little while after you're dead, you'll be rotted away anyway. It's not gonna matter if you have a few scars. It will matter if you didn't live.

Usually when we do something to corrupt our lives, it's usually something to fulfill an ache that we have.

It's all that pretending to be perfect that breeds inauthenticity in the church.

I grew up hearing everyone tell me 'God loves you'. I would say big deal, God loves everybody. That don't make me special! That just proves that God ain't got no taste. And, I don't think He does. Thank God! Because He takes the junk of our lives and makes the most beautiful art.
