I believe that pain and suffering can either be a prison or a prism.
Life is really fun, if only we gave it a chance.
It takes time to be a good father. It takes effort - trying, failing, and trying again.
Pain is inevitable, but misery is optional. We cannot avoid pain, but we can avoid joy.
Grace is the central invitation to life and the final word. It's the beckoning nudge and the overwhelming, undeserved mercy that urges us to change and grow, and then gives us the power to pull it off.
Necessity is the author of change.
