“Of one thing I am perfectly sure: God's story never ends with 'ashes.”
“If everyone was perfect then I am pretty sure I would be perfect.”
“The story I am going to tell has more than one beginning and without an end.”
“But in one thing I would go beyond strict orthodoxy - I am a convinced universalist. I believe that in the end all men will be gathered into the love of God.”
“I know perfection is one thing I will never achieve, but I will always make it my goal because this means I am always giving my all and working to improve”
“I am disposed to be as content as a queen, and you try to stir me up to restlessness! To what end?"To the end of turning to profit the talents which God has committed to your keeping; and of which he will surely one day demand a strict account.”
