Of all the exotic aromas and experiences from my sojourn in Ethiopia, it’s the frankincense I miss most.

Justice is getting what you deserve. Mercy is not getting what you deserve. And grace is getting what you absolutely don't deserve. ...... benign good will. unprovoked compassion. the unearnable gift

Grace has a way of sneaking up on you like that. When you least deserve it.

Trying to explain or define grace is like catching the wind in a cardboard box or describing the color green.

Grace doesn't obsess with ourselves. It obsesses with people and with brokenness. This is a hard place to live, but God is bigger than hard places to live.

Laughter is grace in its gaseous form.

Every time I go to the theater, there's something about the atmosphere, seeing something unfold live in front of an audience, that you can't get out of your system.

In truth, men speak too much of danger.

Losing honour or losing everything, it is all the same thing in the realm of the good people.
