  • If you would be a better teacher, teach by the spirit. That is the thing that gives strength and power, meaning and life, to our otherwise weak efforts... remember, you cannot give away that which you do not possess. Study the life of the master. You do not have to have a college degree to be an efficient teacher. But you do have to become acquainted with the life and teachings of the master to be an effective teacher in the church.

And no matter what's happening in the Middle East — the Arab Spring, et cetera, the economic challenges, high rates of unemployment — the emotional, critical issue is always the Israeli-Palestinian one.

  • There is a graveyard in my poor heart - dark, heaped-up graves, from which no flowers spring.

  • I drink from a small spring, / my thirst excedes the ocean.

  • Once in the midst of a seemingly endless winter, I discovered within myself an invincible spring.

  • Although it was the middle of winter, I finally realized that, within me, summer was inextinguishable.
