Beautiful Failures
The most important thing for us is to live our lives as if the gospels were true...We try to live our lives by the story of Jesus, but that story is not a success story; it is, rather, a failure story...
In the end, our vision concerns the one who loses in a way that is eloquent and beautiful because it has a consistent integrity with the sublime vision of scripture. It is called grace.
