I get ideas about things I want to make and then I throw myself into it with everything I have.

You can set your intention to better understand your soul, your spirit, through daily practices like prayer, yoga and meditation, etc.

I live with the understanding that truth is bigger than any religion and the world is God's and everything in it.

If your faith is threatened by something that's true, then it wasn't much of a faith to begin with, was it?

The resurrection confronts our world with wonder, mystery, and miracles.

The fact that we are loved and accepted and forgiven in spite of everything we have done is simply too good to be true.

I would say that the powerful, revolutionary thing about Jesus' message is that he says, 'What do you do with the people that aren't like you? What do you do with the Other? What do you do with the person that's hardest to love?' . . . That's the measure of a good religion, is - you can love the people who are just like you; that's kind of easy. So what Jesus does is takes the question and talks about fruit. He's interested in what you actually produce. And that's a different discussion. How do we love the people in the world that are least like us?
