With each spring comes new life, energy and green growth. In summer comes the sun, warm, kind and enduring. Fall brings its canvas of color in careful, gentle change.

I guess the way I describe it is when basketball players talk about being in the zone and they feel like they can't miss. That's the way a running back feels when the game is in slow-motion.

One of God's central qualities is compassion, a word that in Hebrew is related to the word for "womb."

Spirit feels the suffering of the world and participates in it. . . .
