I can no more understand the totality of God than the pancake I made for breakfast understands the complexity of me

Reality is like a fine wine,_ he said to me. __t will not appeal to children.

When I walked into the Christian section of a bookstore, the message was clear: Faith is something you do alone. Rick does not have much tolerance for people living alone. He__ like Bill Clinton in that he feels everyone__ pain. If Rick thinks somebody is lonely, he can__ sleep at night. He wants us all to live with each other and play nice so he can get some rest. Tortured soul.

I listened so hard because it felt like, while she was telling me stories, she was massaging my soul, letting me know that I was not alone, that I will never have to be alone, that there are friends and family and churches and coffee shops. I was not going to be cast into space.
