“My loving children, my children who were created with God's beauty, my wise children, whatever difficulty you may have, do not ever leave His charge.

“It's good to have some kind of California in there. It's almost always appropriate. It's appropriate on a sunny day or late at night.

“Guilt must not be allowed to fester in the silence of the soul, poisoning it from within. It needs to be confessed. Through confession we bring it into the light, we place it within Christ's purifying love. In confession, the Lord washes our soiled feet over and over again and prepares us for table fellowship with him.”
