“I shall not find Christ at the end of my journey unless he accompanies me along the way.” - Esther De Waal, Celtic Way of Prayer
“Our chance to be healed comes when the waters of our life are disturbed.” – Elizabeth O’Conner, Call to Commitment
"It is not allowable to love the Creation according to the purposes one has for it, any more than it is allowable to love one’s neighbor in order to borrow his tools." - Wendell Berry, Sex, Economy, Freedom and Community
"It has always been more difficult to come to terms with Jesus as the way than with Jesus as the truth. It is more difficult to realize the ways our thinking and behavior get fused into a life of relational love and adoration with neighbor and God, God and neighbor." - Eugene Peterson, "Christian Century", Nov 29, 2003
"Past is past. Past is not present. Did is not do. Was is not is."

Theme: Grid Focus by Derek Punsalan
Before you post a comment that reads something like this: “ugh…Paul, this is a complete sentence.”, please know that I know what a sentence needs…most of the time. That does not ensure that I will speak or write in complete or otherwise meaningful sentences. It’s late…please forgive.
i wonder how far-reaching the statement is. Being a Paul always involves becoming a paul. I wonder if our world view would change if we would assume that the individuals we are are not yet complete. Am I making sense?
