"You don't always have to chop with the sword of truth. You can point with it too."
Diplomacy
"It is a violation of trust to use your kids as caulking for the cracks in you."
Trust
"Some people won't go the extra mile, and then on their birthday, when no one makes a fuss, they feel neglected and bitter."
Expectation
"Most of us don't notice how great we look until years, even decades later. Not long ago, I was looking at photos of myself at various ages and weights-way before the neckular deterioration began, way before the fanny pack of menopause-and I could see how gorgeous I must have looked to everyone else."
Appearance
"The Amen is only as good as the attitude. If you are trying to finish up quickly so you can check your cell phone messages, you are missing the chance to spend quiet moments with the giver of life and the eternal, which means you may reap continued feelings of life racing along without you. So as Samuel Beckett admonished us to fail again, and fail better, we try to pray again, and pray better, for slightly longer and with slightly more honesty, breathing more, deeper, and with more attention."
Faith
"We stitch together quilts of meaning to keep us warm and safe, with whatever patches of beauty and utility we have on hand."
Meaning
"When we did art with the kids, the demons would lie down."
Healing
"Mine was a patchwork God, sewn together from bits of rag and ribbon, Eastern and Western, pagan and Hebrew, everything but the kitchen sink and Jesus."
Religion
"I am not writing to try and convert people to fundamental Christianity. I am just trying to share my experience, strength and hope, that someone who is as messed up and neurotic and scarred and scared can be fully accepted by our dear Lord, no questions asked."
Faith
"I like to think that Henry James said his classic line, "A writer is someone on whom nothing is lost," while looking for his glasses, and that they were on top of his head."
