I like the idea that when I die, I will have a long sit-down chat with God and get answers to all my questions. For example, those apple cores that I threw out of car windows when I was a child—did any of them become trees? Few boys or men had ever asked me out. I told myself that it was because I was almost 6-feet tall. Was that true or was there something humbling I needed to know? ↗

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it. ↗

What is laid down, ordered, factual is never enough to embrace the whole truth: life always spills over the rim of every cup. ↗

No one should ever say that it was my ignorance if I did or showed forth anything however small according to God's good pleasure; but let this be your conclusion and let it so be thought, that - as is the perfect truth - it was the gift of God. ↗
