God does some of God's best work with people who are seriously lost.

Earth is so thick with divine possibility that it is a wonder we can walk anywhere without cracking our shins on altars.

The problem is, many of the people in need of saving are in churches, and at least part of what they need saving from is the idea that God sees the world the same way they do.

Real life is crazier than fiction.

At midlife, you're pregnant with the best self you can be - someone who has learned enough from both successes and failures to add up to a fine human being.

Find out where you are at, where you are going and build a plan to get there.

Everything gives way before the recurring torment and festivity of passion.
