When we have faith and discipline everything becomes easier. Patience is the mother of all virtues. With anxiety all our lives become worse.
I don't know what more to say. I mean, we're all going to die in a world that is worse than when we entered it.
I think of my brother just out of prison again. He will have spent ten years of the last 30 in prison.
The Gospel itself is angular. It always has been. It always conflicts. It always challenges every generation. It challenges different generations in different ways.
I had a wonderful contact, especially with Uncle Bert who was an angel and led the whole group over to my side of a steep ravine I could not cross to get over to them.

I think my formative experiences were really in junior high, where at a typical public school we were doing little genetic experiments, very classic experiments.
