Just when our understanding of God finally appears to have fallen comfortably into our childlike formulas, God lets us know that He’s not two things; a child or a formula.

If I have faith, what I see as a wall in front of me is in reality a door that will soon be behind me.
Despite how dark it might be, what is tonight but the precursor to tomorrow?
Maybe every now and then I need something ‘unbelievable’ to happen to help make that which is ‘believable’ a place where I start, but not a place where I stop.
If I’m only looking at an ending, I’ll assume that an ending is all that there is. And without a doubt, that kind of assumption is the beginning of the end.
I need hope in something a lot bigger than me, for if I’m as good as it gets then I’m in big trouble.
I can live a life anticipating beginnings or survive a life dreading endings. So maybe I should begin ending the dreading.
The degree of the darkness that we’re experiencing today is nothing more than an indicator of how bright the coming light is going to be. And if we look at it that way, does it ever really get that dark?
Should all the hoards of mankind assemble as one and bring the full force of their numbers against us, we must remember that one man standing alone with God remains an immovable majority.
