Sometimes my life just don't make sense at all. The mountains looks so big and my faith just seems so small.
If you’re really looking for answers, look past me. But if you’re interested in how I got to where I am, I will be as honest as possible.
Look at us all - we are all of us lost and in all of our different ways of pretending, we all fool ourselves into the very same hell. Look at the cross - we are all of us loved and one God meets us all at the point of our common need and brings to all of us - all who will let Him - salvation.
The only man I envy is the man who has not yet been to Africa- for he has so much to look forward to.
I would love to be a Franciscan brother. I'm just not sure I have the courage to do it.
I think a lot of parents hand people over a blueprint and say, 'This is how you're supposed to do it.' And my parents, I think, kind of drew a picture and said, 'Here's the good stuff in life. How do you get there?'
The difference between me and most Protestants is most Protestants have no problem at all saying 'The Lord told me this' or 'The Lord told me that,' but they won't believe that the Lord speaks through the pope. You know, at least this guy has some credentials.
I have no physical genius about me. I can't dribble a ball and run at the same time, I can't do lay-ups - I'm not an athlete. But my experience as a kid was, I was made fun of so much that what I did then, is, I wouldn't participate. And I think I cheated myself out of a lot of fun.
I don't know that the United States is 'God's Country,' but the church has been so strong here, and because of its influence, we hold life to be sacred and we believe that individuals have dignity. This is part of our legacy.
So hold me Jesus, 'cause I'm shaking like a leaf. You have been King of my glory won't You be my Prince of Peace.
I think I would envy me too, if I didn't know me better...
There's a difference, you know, between faith and playing make-believe. One will make you grow. The other one will make you sleep.
Ain't it funny what people say? Ain't it funny what people write?
Joshua made the sun stand still in the sky, but I can't keep these thoughts of You from passing by.
