“We can hold the finite. We must allow the infinite to hold us. Mistaking the two leads to disappointment when the finite slips from our grasp and we are left reaching for empty air.”

“It is easy to pray for things to be better, or different, or just easier. In my experience, these prayers are rarely answered. I don’t think prayer works that way anyway. The power of prayer does not lie in its ability to change the world we live in as much as in its potential to change we who live in the world.”

“This courage to endure is more difficult to find than the courage required for a one-time act of heroism. This everyday courage to drive on day in, day out requires more than overcoming fear. It requires us to overcome ourselves.”

“The meaning of whatever job or mission you are currently engaged in is determined by how you choose to do it, how you conduct yourself. This is the calling we make for ourselves day in and day out as we live our lives. It is the calling we all have to be the fully human beings we are created to be.”

“This is the balance of possibilities and limits. The possibilities: reaching the top, hitting on a great idea, realizing a vision of justice and peace, or just getting through the deployment and getting home. The limits: an uncertain course, unstable footing, the dangers of this place, waning physical and emotional stamina. We have hopes, dreams, goals we seek to make real in our lives. We struggle with fear, loneliness, hardship. We must navigate the obstacles while keeping our sights on all that is possible.”
