Let people see your struggles and don't ever fake it.

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

I take comfort in knowing that it was the shepherds to whom the angels appeared when they announced Christ's birth. Invariably throughout the course of history, God has appeared to people on the fringes. It's nice to find theological justification for your quirks.

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

We just can't love without God. God wants for us want we want for ourselves. These basic things are not that hard to grasp. We just have to have faith, and faith is a gift. We just need to accept it.

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.

Christianity is about learning to love like Jesus loved and Jesus loved the poor and Jesus loved the broken.
