If you believe you’re a bowling ball, today’s going to go very badly. Which is why I don’t like the phrase, “I’m only human.”

Desire is most powerful in the pure of heart.

Love is not love without waiting. This is why we are moved when a beautiful young woman waits faithfully for her fiancé to return home from a long journey. And . . .

There’s a difference between learning about God and getting to know God.

Where we downplay the central role of the body in human experience, we downplay the role of the body in our own relationships with God.
