writing people world
I write because writing is the gift God has given me to help people in the world.
inspirational essence world
There is ecstasy in paying attention. You can get into a kind of Wordsworthian openness to the world, where you see in everything the essence of holiness.
baby world roommate
Having a baby is like suddenly getting the world's worst roommate.
cake world matter
Sometimes, no matter how screwed up things seem, I feel like we're all at a wedding. But you can't just come out and say, We're at a wedding! Have some cake! You need to create a world into which we can enter, a world where we can see this.
flower world bouquets
The beauty of modesty ... a virtue the world doesn't have much truck with: one ordinary flower in a vase, as opposed to a bouquet.
thinking pet world
Pets are the world to me. I think they are the most obvious manifestations of divine love that we are going to see this side of eternity.
dangerous-world views way
I don't have any romantic views of parenting. Every step of the way it's really hard. It's a dangerous world, physically and psychologically.
what-if world fifty
What if we gave fifty percent of our discretionary budget to the world’s poor and then counted on the moral power of that action to protect us?
thinking world dark-clouds
I think this is how we are supposed to be in the world-present and in awe.
wind people world
The world is always going to be dangerous, and people get badly banged up, but how can there be more meaning than helping one another stand up in a wind and stay warm?
thinking people world
This is who I want to be in the world. This is who I think we are supposed to be, people who help call forth human beings from deep inside hopelessness.
people finding-yourself world
It is in many people's best interest for you not to find yourself, but it only matters that it is in yours, and the whole world's, to proceed.
The American way is to not need help, but to help.
created faith god hates image opposite people turns
The opposite of faith is not doubt: It is certainty. It is madness. You can tell you have created God in your own image when it turns out that he or she hates all the same people you do.
