Hope. People want hope. We crave hope. We long for hope. Hope has been present since the very beginning. And almost in the worst situations of human history, you often find the greatest amount of hope. The very nature of the situation, the way stepped-on people created within them even more hope than when things were going fine. Hope has always been around.

We all want to make a difference, to live in peace, to have joy each morning that we get to live this day and see what it brings.

I believe God gives people the right to say no, to resist, to refuse, to reject, to cling to their sins, to cling to their version of their story.

When we get to what happens when we die, we don't have any video footage. So let's at least be honest that we are speculating, because we are.

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

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

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