crush

My latest spiritual crush is on the Reverend Desmond Tutu. I adore him. I read his book The Rainbow People of God after seeing him participate on a panel at the University of Washington where he kidded around with the Dalai Lama. He reminds me of the God I love, and his laughter is divine. Here's a link to listen to him on the NPR program Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippet. Desmond Tutu's God of Surprises I am about to read Made For Goodness: Why This Makes All the Difference. He wrote it with his daughter, and it's about faith at this stage in his life. He's old and wise. Want to read it with me?

laughter is carbonated holiness.

just quotes

Doubt is that moment in the faith life when we put down everybody else’s answers and begin to find our own.

Sister Joan Chittister

The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion who can stay with us in an hour of grief or bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing. . .not healing, not curing. . .that is a friend who cares.

Henri Nouwen

I've been reading the book of Job lately.
I like him.
