mind use way
We do have to use our minds as far as they will take us, yet acknowledging that they cannot take us all the way.
long healthy way
Accepting that we are angry is a healthy and appropriate response as long as we don't get stuck in it. Acknowledging it is one way of going through it.
mean way walking-on-water
To be a witness means to live in such a way that one's life would not make sense if God did not exist.
children way stories
Stories are like children. They grow in their own way.
silence way vibrations
It was the same way with silence. This was more than silence. A deaf person can feel vibrations. Here there was nothing to feel.
prayer self way
The prayer of words cannot be eliminated. And I must pray them daily, whether I feel like praying or not. Otherwise, when God as something to say to me, I will not know how to listen. Until I have worked through self, I will not be enabled to get out of the way.
people looks way
People are more than just the way they look.
children coercion way
The best way to guide children without coercion is to be ourselves.

If we accept that we have at least an iota of free will, we cannot throw it back the moment things go wrong. Like a human parent, God will help us when we ask for help, but in a way that will make us more mature, more real, not in a way that will diminish us.
life way mature
We do learn and develop when we are exposed to those who are greater than we are. Perhaps this is the chief way we mature.
trying littles way
The only way to cope with something deadly serious is to try to treat it a little lightly.
thinking way able
We think because we have words, not the other way around. The more words we have, the better able we are to think conceptually.
artist way interfere
When the work takes over, then the artist is enabled to get out of the way, not to interfere. When the work takes over, then the artist listens.
believe play way
That's a sure way to tell about somebody--the way they play, or don't play, make-believe.
