We were given our agency. We must use it wisely and remain close to the Spirit; otherwise, we foolishly find ourselves yielding to the enticements of the adversary.

When I see an entire community disenfranchised, it disturbs me. Not that I’m a message guy, per se. I write about people. I like to write about human beings, not crap political rhetoric.

Now, it is my contention that the deneuroticization of humanity requires a rehumanization of psychotherapy.

The choice of life is not between fame and fortune, nor wealth and poverty, but between good and evil.

Repentance is for little children.

Critic, relent!Your hope for repentanceWill meet with disapppointment.For this is the life,Not desert tents,Not camel’s milk!
