color soul emotion
Emotions are the colors of the soul.
journey space soul
Part of my journey is to say that the soul of the human being must be a massively intricate, wonderful creation that God has a respect for in ways that we do not and that leaves a huge amount of space to go explore.
father my-family angry
I had a very angry father and was disconnected from my family.
I'm an accidental writer.

Jesus is not the 'founder of Christianity.

It is so easy to get sucked into the if-only game, and playing it is a short and slippery slide into despair.
significant mark love-always
Love always leaves a significant mark.

The world in many ways would be a much calmer and gentler place if women ruled. There would have been fewer children sacrificed to the gods of greed and power.

Evangelicals have like millions of rules. And it's just, uh, we have sort of an accepted, rationalism within which we frame religion. And we think that belief, intellectually, is of the same as relationship. And in our Western family conversation, that's become an incredible impediment toward actual wholeness, where the heart and the head are aligned and relationship -- with not just God but with each other.
christian religious mean
It seems like -- especially in religious circles and Christian circles, we want to first talk about the things we're opposed to. That means we have to categorize that person. We can call them emergent or neo orthodox or someone who feminizes scripture. There's the category, let's stick them in the category then just blow up the box and him along with it.
enemy obscurity controversy
The enemy of a writer is not controversy but obscurity.
healing damage mysterious
Healing is as incremental and mysterious as the damage ... what took time, takes time.
jesus father son
I don't see the Father pouring out his wrath on the Son. I see the human race pouring out their wrath on the Son. So I see the only hope for the entire cosmos is what the Son chooses to accept, crawling upon the instrument of our greatest wrath. He met us at the deepest, darkest place.
heart depth unforeseen
The arrival of the unforeseen reveals the depths of one's heart.
