“Love, simple word with brimming of blood.”

“His words filled my heart to the brim. I loved him in a way I’d never be able to express in words. He was part of me. And I was part of him. Tethered together for the rest of eternity.”

“What if the mightiest word is love, love beyond marital, filial, national. Love that casts a widening pool of light. Love with no need to preempt grievance.In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air, anything can be made, any sentence begun.On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp -- praise song for walking forward in that light.”

“The Epistle of our being is written with letters full of blood drained from the love of God's Word.”

“The deepest, most complex part of our soul is satisfied with a simple word of thanks or encouragement--an act of unconditional love.”

“You tell others about Me - that I am a loving God. Your words are glib. My words are written in the blood of My only Son.”
