When we are in touch with God's joy and peace in us, then we become whole and holy persons. Like living torches we radiate the light and heat of God's compassionate love.

Spirituality isn't about being finished and perfect; spirituality is about trusting God in our unfinishedness.

Until we start thinking in terms of revolution instead of compromise the Church will continue to pat itself on the back with token steps of renewal.

Religious people love to hide behind religion. They love the rules of religion more than they love Jesus. With practice, Condemners let rules become more important than the spiritual life.

What landed Jesus on the cross was the preposterous idea that common, ordinary, broken, screwed-up people could be godly.

Spirituality is not about being fixed; it is about God's being present in the mess of our unfixedness. (Messy Spirituality)

Christianity is not about learning how to live within the lines; Christianity is about the joy of coloring.

Jesus cares more about desire than about competence

Play is an expression of God's presence in the world; one clear sign of God's absence in society is the absence of playfulness and laughter.

The Church is the place where the incompetent, the unfinished, and even the unhealthy are welcome. I believe Jesus agrees.

Spiritual growth thrives in the midst of our problems, not in their absence. Spiritual growth occurs in the trenches of life, not in the classroom.

Try a little harder to be a little better.

Knowledge is more than power, it is freedom.

Don't chase people. Be yourself, do your own thing and work hard. The right people will come to you and stay.

Every picture should have a place you can go, a home, a climax.

We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.

In this life he laughs longest who laughs last.

When we are mindful, deeply in touch with the present moment, our understanding of what is going on deepens, and we begin to be filled with acceptance, joy, peace and love.

Ye have a watch; go your way, make it as sure as ye can.

We should not focus on ideas that divide us and pull us apart.

Think big and don't listen to people who tell you it can't be done. Life's too short to think small.
