Faith in God is to be demonstrated, not defined.
When I understand that everything happening to me is to make me more Christlike, it resolves a great deal of anxiety.
You can delegate many things, but prayer is not one of them.

To pray without expectation is to misunderstand the whole concept of prayer and relationship with God.
Christian liberty is freedom from sin, not freedom to sin.
I barely notice colors unless I taste them. Not the yellows or the greens. I taste the deeper blues. The darker reds.
I do teach fiction and non-fiction, and usually I'm interested in works that confuse genre, but I'm very new to teaching creative writing, I don't have an MFA, or a PhD, I tend to approach it just through my own practice.

I know how lucky I am. I never take it for granted. In this country [USA], anything can happen - anybody can be what they want to be. All I ever wanted was to be a good husband and father, a good chef, and to have my own restaurant. And the celebrity was never expected. Wouldn't have even dared dream of it. And here I am. So anyone's dreams can come true. And I'm very, very grateful for everything that's come my way. I thank everyone who enjoys what I do.
