Chris Breslin
(Bumper music: God Be In My Head by Ryan Gustafson of the Dead Tongues featured on Hymns from the Gathering Church (2011))
“The living of a [person’s] life, day by day, is the only preparation for the great moment. Day by day….The great moment is never something that is irrelevant to the life you are living, to the way you are taking, to the journey you are making.” -Howard Thurman
“Jesus is out to stigmatize the incongruous enormity of the rejection, so he insists on nothing less than heaps of murdered mailmen.” -Robert Farrar Capon
“What people don’t realize is how much religion costs. They think faith is a big electric blanket, when of course it is the cross.” -Flannery O’Connor
