"Grace is shockingly personal. As Henri Nouwen points out, 'God rejoices not because the problems of the world have been solved, not because all human pain and suffering have come to an end, nor because thousands of people have been converted and are now praising Him for His goodness.

Phillip Yancey "...I believe that when you are given a certain path in life, you have a spiritual responsibility, a spiritual opportunity to walk that path...to walk that path and bring some good into the world as a result of it. The only way you help people come out of the shadows is by coming out of the shadows yourself. The only way to find hope in your own life is by helping others find hope." ...
