Thanksgiving creates abundance; and the miracle of multiplying happens when I give thanks-take the just one loaf, say it is enough, and give thanks-and He miraculously makes it more than enough.

In a world addicted to speed, I blur the moments into one unholy smear.

Busy is a choice. Stress is a choice. Joy is a choice. Choose well.

Like the wind, Grace finds us wherever we are and won't leave us however we were found.

Being joyful isn't what makes you grateful. Being grateful is what makes you joyful.

There is unwavering peace today when an uncertain tomorrow is trusted to an unchanging God.

I speak my mind. I just speak my heart. I will not turn away from any question.

I do not regard flesh-food as necessary for us at any stage and under any clime in which it is possible for human beings ordinarily to live, I hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species.

I do have a regard for the musicality of language that came from BBC sitcoms like 'Fawlty Towers.'

Though I often run out of courage and good sense, stubbornness keeps me going.
