 Humor has always been important to me. If there is a shield of faith that you can keep up against difficulties, humor is the Teflon coating. |
| A disease and its treatment can be a series of humiliations, a chisel for humility. |
| I want the privilege of guiding the arrows of my children and giving them the exhortations that can shoot them into the high place. |
| A personal offense is like a scratch on a phonograph record. I couldn't move my thoughts beyond my pain. It kept repeating, as if I were stuck within its grooves. There was only one way to play beyond it. I had to forgive them, so my heart could take its form again. |
| It was my dream that I had clenched in a fist of discontent and wouldn't release. But time had now pried every finger open. There is peace in an open and upraised hand that isn't grasping for anything. |
| I've traveled to 50 countries, but I've never been to heaven. |
