“The difference between a friendship and a romance is illustrated in the image of a long-stemmed rose.  The stem is the friendship, the blossom is the romance.  Because the ego is sensation-oriented, our focus automatically goes to the blossom, but all the nourishment which the blossom needs in order to live reaches it through the stem.  The stem might look boring in comparison, but if you take the blossom off the stem, it will not last for long.”

“If I were to construct a God I would furnish Him with some way and qualities and characteristics which the Present lacks.”

“The space between the promise God gives us and the realization of that promise is where we often get stuck. This is the space where our patience is tested. This is the space where our faith is tested.”
