I believe that pain and suffering can either be a prison or a prism.

One of the ways that our faith expresses itself is by our ability to be still, to be present, and not to panic or lose perspective. God still does his best work in the most difficult of circumstances.

The disillusionment with our own abilities is, perhaps, one of the most important things that can ever happen to us.

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.

Pain is inevitable, but misery is optional. We cannot avoid pain, but we can avoid joy.

All of our theology must eventually become biography.

Necessity is the author of change.
