We can choose the way of compassion, the way of forgiveness, the way of generosity. Or we can choose other paths and those have very real consequences in the world. This is absolutely crucial.

Jesus is God's way of refusing to give up his dream for the world.

I believe that God is love. I believe that Jesus came to show us this love, to give us this love, to teach us about this love, so that we could live in this love and extend it to others.

That breath that you just took, that's a gift!

Your life is a gift and how you respond to it - what you do with it matters. That's where I start.

We're rediscovering Christianity as an Eastern religion, as a way of life.
