Feelings can be like wild animals-we underrate how fierce they are until we've opened their cage

Life is what happens to us while we're planning something else.

The further along we get on our life journey the more we wonder about those who traveled before us and paved the road.

Humanity is always looking for the next great world, the next frontier. I wonder how different this world would be if we were content with where we were.

We plan our lives in long, unbroken stretches that intersect our dreams the way highways connect the city dots on a road map. But in the end we learn that life is lived in the side roads, alleys, and detours.

I have Tourettes syndrome.

I have come to believe that we do not walk alone in this life. There are others, fellow sojourners, whose journeys are interwoven with ours in seemingly random patterns, yet, in the end, have been carefully placed to reveal a remarkable tapestry. I believe God is the weaver at that loom.
