Book cover for Tall Oaks (Dover Literature: Crime/Mystery/Thriller)
“Sometimes, when you smile at me, I forget about trying to be someone that deep down I know I’m not. And it’s not just the cursing, which comes natural to me by the way, a habit I couldn’t shake even if I wanted to. It’s the constant need ...more

“I think joy and sweetness and affection are a spiritual path. We're here to know God, to love and serve God, and to be blown away by the beauty and miracle of nature. You just have to get rid of so much baggage to be light enough to dance, to sing, to play. You don't have time to carry grudges; you don't have time to cling to the need to be right.”
Anne Lamott

Anne Lamott, Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith

Anne Lamott
“Your problem is how you are going to spend this one and precious life you have been issued.

Anne Lamott

“God sent Jesus to join the human experience, which means to make a lot of mistakes. Jesus didn't arrive here knowing how to walk.

He had to suffer the hardships and tedium and setbacks of being a regular person. If he hadn't the incarnation would mean nothing.”
Anne Lamott, Grace (Eventually): Thoughts on Faith
