Status Updates From La desaparición de Rembrand...

“Living with limits is one of the ways we enter into beauty we would not have otherwise seen, good work we would not have chosen, relationships we would not have treasured. For the Christian, accepting our limits is one of the ways we are shaped to fit together as living stones into the body of Christ. As much as our strengths are a gift to the church. So are our limitations.”

“Beauty is a relic of Eden— a remnant of what is good. It comes from a deeper realm. It trickles into our lives as water from a crack in a dam, and what lies on the other side of that damn fills us with wonder and fear. Glory lies on the other side. And we were made for glory.”

“Story is a Trojan horse for truth. It can sneak truth, pass the gates of our defenses and prepare our hearts to hear things we might have resisted if they had come as mere declaration. Jesus relied on storytelling as his primary method of teaching…to persuade the Jews to empathize with Samaritans, wealthy people to care for the poor, and religious people to have compassion on societies fringe”
