"SalomÃ©, SalomÃ©, dance for me. I pray thee dance for me. I am sad to-night. Yes, I am passing sad to-night.

I am sad to-night. Therefore dance for me. Dance for me, SalomÃ©, I beseech you. If you dance for me you may ask of me what you will, and I will give it you, even unto the half of my kingdom."

-- Oscar Wilde

“If we are to achieve long-range goals, we must learn to set up and accomplish short-range goals that will move us along the way. If we do not consciously select our goals, we may be controlled by goals not of our own choosing - goals imposed by outside pressures (such as the expectations of others) or by our habits (such as procrastination) or by our desire for the approval of the world.”
“Weâ€™re seeking â€” imperfectly at every turn, no doubt â€” an incarnational theology, a theology that brings radical good news of great joy for all the people, good news that God loves the world and didnâ€™t send Jesus to condemn it but to save it, good news that Godâ€™s wrath is not merely punitive but restorative, good news that the fire of Godâ€™s holiness is not bent on eternal torment but always works to purify and refine, good news that where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more.”
“There's a humorous side to every situation. The challenge is to find it.”
