Diana Butler Bass
“Much of what passes for gratitude today appears to be a sort of secular prosperity gospel.”
Diana Butler Bass, Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks

Shauna Niequist
“You can make a drug—a way to anesthetize yourself—out of anything: working out, binge-watching TV, working, having sex, shopping, volunteering, cleaning, dieting. Any of those things can keep you from feeling pain for a while—that’s what drugs do. And, used like a drug, over time, shopping or TV or work or whatever will make you less and less able to connect to the things that matter, like your own heart and the people you love. That’s another thing drugs do: they isolate you.”
Shauna Niequist, Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living

Madeleine L'Engle
“we do not have to understand God’s ways, or the suffering and brokenness and pain that sooner or later come to us all. But we do have to know in the very depths of our being that the ultimate end of the story, no matter how many aeons it takes, is going to be all right.”
Madeleine L'Engle, Two-Part Invention: The Story of a Marriage

Diana Butler Bass
“In normal life one is not at all aware that we always receive infinitely more than we give, and that gratitude is what enriches life.”
Diana Butler Bass, Grateful: The Transformative Power of Giving Thanks

Matthew Fox
“Homophobia in any form is a serious sin against love of neighbor, a sin of ignorance of the richness and diversity of God’s creation, and a sin of exclusion.”
Matthew Fox, A New Reformation: Creation Spirituality and the Transformation of Christianity
