And step by step You'll lead me / And I will follow You all of my days.

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.

And I really suspect that of all the things we think we want to know, the only thing we really want to know is that we are loved. And if Jesus means anything, he means that you are loved. I hope you know that. And I hope you stop worrying about all the stuff you don't know, because I don't think it amounts to a hill of beans.

There's a difference, you know, between faith and playing make-believe. One will make you grow. The other one will make you sleep.

You are not alone in the world. You are part of an ensemble.

I am tired again tonight - a good kind of tired. Some aches are well earned. I wish I could see the sky tonight

If you’re really looking for answers, look past me. But if you’re interested in how I got to where I am, I will be as honest as possible.
