God is bigger than the Christian faith.

We need a childlike trust that God is good... ultimately we are OK. That is a simple, beautiful pure thing that can be complicated ferociously by all sorts of intellectual categories.

For a lot of people in our world today, God has become about believing the right stuff so you don't get in trouble.

I am for marriage. I am for fidelity. I am for love, whether it's a man and woman, a woman and a woman, a man and a man.

Because with every action, comment, conversation, we have the choice to invite Heaven or Hell to Earth.

Love is what God is, love is why Jesus came, and love is why he continues to come, year after year to person after person...May you experience this vast, expansive, infinite, indestructible love that has been yours all along. May you discover that this love is as wide as the sky and as small as the cracks in your heart no one else knows about, and may you know, deep in your bones, that love wins.

It often takes suffering and lost in order to remind us of how precious life is.
