…I learned that life cannot be administered by definite rules and regulations; that wisdom to deal with a man’s difficulties comes only through some knowledge of his life and habits as a whole.” - Jane Addams Not only does He require that we accept His inexplicable, embarrassing kind of love, but once we've accepted it, He expects us to behave the same way with others. I suppose I could live with a God whose love for us is embarrassing, but the thought that I've got to act that way with other people- that's a bit too much to swallow. - Brennan Manning Grace must find expression in life, otherwise it is not grace. - Karl Barth
