“Even when our death is imminent, we carry the image of ourselves moving forward, alive, into the future.”
“But the past cannot be changed, and we carry our choices with us, forward, into the unknown. We can only move on.”
“We cannot wait until we feel the Spirit moving us... We must obey God even when our heart is not in it- often to discover that our hearts come alive to our duty even while we do it.”
“God never goes back; he always moves forward. ... God always wants our future to be bigger than our past, and God always moves forward.”
“Without our artists and storytellers, we have no history, and without history your future is unmoored -- we drift. It is art, never war, that carries culture forward.”
“In order to move others deeply we must deliberately allow ourselves to be carried away beyond the bounds of our normal sensibility”
