I'm not opposed to success.
From Greg Boyle
When the vastness of God meets the restriction of our own humanity, words can't hold it. The best we can do is find the moments that rhyme with this expansive heart of God.
We need the disruption of categories that lead us to abandon the difficult, the disagreeable, and the least likely to go very far.
All politics are local, and so in church.
My church is in the detention facilities where I preside and celebrate the Eucharist. To me that's the church. That's the people of God.
At its best, an injunction creates a kind of vigilant heat that moves kids toward the light.
God can get tiny if we're not careful.
The arms of God reach to embrace, and somehow you feel yourself just outside God's fingertips.
The desire of God's heart is immeasurably larger than our imaginations can conjure.
I don't save people. God saves people. I can point them in the right direction. I can say, 'There's that door. I think if you walked through it, you'd be happier than you are.'
