“when hope gets released in a place, all kinds of things are possible”

“I was in a kind of no-man's-land, a place between places. The mind plays all sorts of tricks, gets up to all kinds of things while we ourselves are slumbering in a white zone that looks for all the world like inattention to the onlooker.”

“Some things you got to release. Gary said. The more you hold them in, the worse you get. When you release them, they got to go somewhere else. The Bible says He can carry all that burden.”

“If your hope disappoints you, it is the wrong kind of hope. You see, hope in God never disappoints, precisely because it is hope *in God.* This means that hope placed in any other thing will always end up disappointing.”

“A new baby is like the beginning of all things wonder hope a dream of possibilities.”

“Talking to them was like being placed into conversational purgatory, with no hope of being released without significant damage to one's self-esteem.”
