"We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low."

"We must never give up hope. Even when things seem darkest, there is always hope."

"There comes a point where we need to stop just pulling people out of the river. We need to go upstream and find out why they're falling in."

"God has a sense of humor. He has a big laugh. And he's always laughing."

"We are all called to be peacemakers."
