There is poverty and hunger and war in the world. And we prepare for more war. There is desperate suffering with no prospect for relief. But we would be contributing to the misery and desperation of the world if we failed to rejoice in the sun, the moon and the stars, in the rivers which surround this island on which we live, on the cool breezes of the bay, on what food we have and on the benefactors God sends. | |

Can I Get A Witness?

To be a witness does not consist in engaging in propaganda or even stirring people up, but in being a living mystery; It means to live in such a way that one’s life would not make sense if God did not exist. | |
