What I find in life is that it's not so much about good and bad people, but about good and bad combinations.

Just growing up some, and encountering experiences that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that I do not understand God's plan.

You can still cut loose and have a great time, but part of you has to say, "I will take life with open eyes and a thinking mind, and not as self-centered as I was as a child." When you start looking at life that way you realize that issues on every level on every continent do have an effect on your life. Show less «

I was a Bush supporter, but I was bowled over with President Clinton's personal magnetism when I met him. I was so not expecting that. He has amazing charisma. His charisma can stop a room. And it's everything, it's male... He's just bigger than life. Very embracing, very warm. Show less «

The toughest thing, as a believer, is to see how Christianity is pigeonholed into this one did-you-get-the-memo-on-how-to-vote kind of thing. I am somebody who feels very spiritually alive, and prayer is an integral part of my daily life, along with confession, worship - all those things. But I see how all that's been quantified, and made a caricature of, and I don't want to add to a cultural experience that turns people off. Show less «

[on one of Rich Mullins's music videos] I think about the shoeless man taken to an extreme. You know, most of us love the first spring day that you can kick your shoes off. But nobody had calluses on their feet like he did. And he was that way with spiritual things too. Most of us, we kinda have a brush with God, and we're enamored and frightened. But it's always kinda that barely leaning in. And Rich just had a way of running headlong into the unknown that was frightening to most of us. But in his own unique way, it seemed he always was able to find the edge and look into the abyss and come back and write a song about it and tell us what he'd seen. Show less «
