There's whistling coming out of a forest somehow; there's an entire dead species of tree right there in front of you, and not just a few trees, it goes for miles and miles. So, with that background, and then knowing what's going on in the world . . . I don't like to dwell on it much, but I think everybody's terrified.

My faith is brightest in the midst of impenetrable darkness.

I am a patient man - always willing to forgive on the Christian terms of repentance; and also to give ample time for repentance.

So next time you feel like your world is about to end, I hope you studied because He's testing your faith again.

I'm thankful for the sea breeze that feels so good right now, and the scent of jasmine when the sun starts going down.

At the heart of silence is prayer. At the heart of prayer is faith. At the heart of faith is life. At the heart of life is service.
