God isn’t a mysterious object to be cajoled or collared.

You can’t be human alone, you can only be human with others.

Sin is ugly. Sin is stupid. Sin separates one human from another.

What do we teach our children? Faith is for Sundays; the rest of the week is for getting ahead.

Scripture has proven itself rather lethal in the hands of modern men and women of faith, of any faith.

Give yourself to the Lord, embrace your vocation. Joy will creep up and tap you on the shoulder.

Perhaps only those who choose baptism as a form of death, death in life, ever really know its power.
