"Every word, action, and conversation is a brushstroke. And when your children prepare to leave home, they are staring at a portrait of God."

So may we keep exploring the wide and winding maze known as theology, but may we focus on getting to the end rather than getting lost in the nooks and crannies which get us nowhere nearer to the goal, to knowing Christ.

"Do you know the difference between taking a knee and bowing down to the Lord? Those who take a knee are standing for injustice. Those who bow down to the Lord know their master’s heart, they know His commandments to love, and those who truly bow down to the Lord have no problem humbling themselves beside those who have been forced to take a knee."

"I got to kiss her on the same exact spot that the bullet either went in or came out."

"I didn’t see it coming. I wasn’t gonna get gas. I was gonna drive all the way to work with low mileage, but I stopped there."

"I was dumbstruck. My eyes welled up with tears... I gathered courage and asked him – 'Did your mom teach you this?"

One version is kneeling in private prayer. The other is kneeling in public protest.

"I have much respect, but I only kneel for one person: God, God, God.”
