I want the privilege of guiding the arrows of my children and giving them the exhortations that can shoot them into the high place.

I never dreamed of publication and I never thought about success. Sometimes I wonder what it is doing to me as a person. I really value being good.

A personal offense is like a scratch on a phonograph record. I couldn't move my thoughts beyond my pain. It kept repeating, as if I were stuck within its grooves. There was only one way to play beyond it. I had to forgive them, so my heart could take its form again.

I feel the garment of Christ being pulled over our shoulders. I am new... I finally sleep, wrapped in the beauty of the word, Savior.

I've traveled to 50 countries, but I've never been to heaven.

Humor has always been important to me. If there is a shield of faith that you can keep up against difficulties, humor is the Teflon coating.

A disease and its treatment can be a series of humiliations, a chisel for humility.
