“[People] do not reject the Bible because it contradicts itself but because it contradicts them.”

“A blind man's world is bounded by the limits of his touch; an ignorant man's world by the limits of his knowledge: a great man's world by the limits of his vision.”

“I do not know beneath what skiesor upon what sea shall be they fateI only know it will be highI only know it will be great~!”

“Everything you do is connected to who you are as a person and, in turn, creates the person you are becoming. Everything you do affects those you love. All of life is covenant.Imbedded in the idea of prayer is a richly textured view of the world where all of life is organized around invisible bonds or covenants that knit us together. Instead of a fixed world, we live in our Father's world, a world built for divine relationships between people where, because of the Good News, tragedies become comedies and hope is born.”

“God is a person, and his universe reflects his personhood. The closer something is to the character of God, the more it reflects him and the less it can be measured. Things such as integrity, beauty, hope, and love are all in the same category as prayer. You can tell their presence and even describe them, but you can't define them, simply because they are too close to God's image.”

“Our most important thoughts are those that contradict our emotions.”

“I said in my heart, 'I am sick of four walls and a ceiling. I have need of the sky. I have business with the grass.”
