William P. Young Quotes
For me, everything is about Jesus and Father and the Holy Spirit, and relationships, and life is an adventure of faith lived one day at a time. Any aspirations, visions and dreams died a long time ago and I have absolutely no interest in resurrecting them (they would stink by now anyway). I have finally figured out that I have nothing to lose by living a life of faith. I know more joy every minute of every day than seems appropriate, but I love the wastefulness of my Father's grace and presence. For me, everything in my life that matters, is perfect!

And you still feel tearful and very grateful that somebody still likes these songs that you made up.

Wendell Berry
As a direct line to human feeling, empathic experience, genuine language and detail, poetry is everything that headline news is not.
