How do I live a happy, fulfilling life? How can I be a good person?
“If I have to choose whether I will pledge my devotion to the kingdom of God or the kingdom of guns? I choose God, every time.”

“Institutions are far from perfect, and the church is no exception. However, at their best, they are external and shared ways of embodying community, ritual, meaning, and purpose so that anyone who wants to be invited in, can be.”

“There will always be bombs, and we will never be able to save everyone we care about. To know that and to try anyway is to be fully alive. The closest thing to shelter we can offer one another is love, as deep and wide and in as many forms as we can give”
― Bomb Shelter: Love, Time, and Other Explosives

“We couldn’t see heaven, we couldn’t see resurrection, but we could feel its possibility. God had been factored into the equation of our experience and something in reality changed. That’s where and when hope happens—when reality is altered by a new possibility. It’s what the Bible calls hoping against hope. And that hope begins the journey of faith, and interestingly enough, all genuine efforts to change for the good. That’s what making do can do for you.”

“At this point, not acting on what we know is willful complicity. With every day we allow women to be shot and murdered by an intimate partner, we are sending a clear message to women that we do not care enough to do anything, that we don’t care enough about their pain and their trauma to save women like them. We are saying, “We care more about the right to access a firearm than your right to your life and your safety.” We are saying, “We don’t think domestic and intimate-partner violence are violent enough to warrant infringing on the rights of others.” We are saying these things; we just aren’t using words.”
