“This impulse - to carry the light, to light up the darkness, to be the shield that guards the living - is the greatest flowering of our humanity.”

Let your light shine!

“The cross is not about the wrath of God finding a suitable sacrifice. The cross is about the love of God offering humanity a way out of the vicious cycle of producing endless victims. The cross of Christ is the end of sacrifice. It’s not the appeasement of a vengeful deity but the supreme demonstration of God’s everlasting love.”

“In quiet listening, Christians start from where we are, discover what we have, and realize that we have already arrived. There is no need to pursue God, to beg for God to become know to us. … God has been there [here with us] all the time.”

A Prayer (1907) by Priscilla Jane Thompson:

“Oh, Lord! I lift my heart,
In gratitude, to Thee
For blessings, manifold,
Thou hast bestowed on me.

When conflicts raged within,
Too blinding too express,
Thou pitied my still tongue,
And soothed my heart to rest.

Keep me within thy care;
Compel me, to the right;
‘Tis sweet to walk with Thee,
In darkness or in Light.”
