There isn't much better

There isn’t much better in this life than finding a way to spend a few hours in conversation with people you respect and love. You have to carve this time out of your life because you aren’t really living without it.

We think having faith

We think having faith means being convinced God exists in the same way we are convinced a chair exists. People who cannot be completely convinced of God’s existence think faith is impossible for them. Not so. People who doubt can have great faith because faith is something you do, not something you think. In fact, the greater your doubt the more heroic your faith.

I'm telling you

I’m telling you, things are getting out of hand. Or maybe I’m discovering that things were never in my hands.

When life seems chaotic

When life seems chaotic, you don't need people giving you easy answers or cheap promises. There might not be any answers to your problems. What you need is a safe place where you can bounce with people who have taken some bad hops of their own.

It's not foresight

It’s not foresight or hindsight we need. We need sight, plain and simple. We need to see what is right in front of us.
