City and country -- each has its own beauty and its own pain. Some of the smallness of small towns -- cattiness, everybody knowing everybody's business -- that can be challenging. And cities can be challenging, because no one can connect except electronically.

I think people are tired of religion and how it divides and damages people.

The arrival of the unforeseen reveals the depths of one's heart.
William P. Young
Anger is the right response to something that is so wrong. But don't let the anger and pain and loss you feel prevent you from forgiving him and removing your hands from around his neck.
William P. Young

William P. Young
Look at us human beings: it's so much easier to be right than to love.
William P. Young
The Gospel is a declaration of something totally finished apart from our agreement or vote. Inside that declaration is an ongoing and relentless invitation to deepening relationship but any lack of belief or participation on our part has no power to negate the accomplished truth of that declaration.
William P. Young
You have to take the time to prepare the soil if you want to embrace the seed.
William P. Young
Perhaps there is supranatural: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that is where faith fits in.
William P. Young
Sin is its own punishment, devouring you from the inside.
