We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God.
When Christ calls a man, he bids him come and die.
Wherever there are sinners, the weak, the sorrowful, the poor in the world, that is where God goes.
God can make a new beginning with people whenever God pleases, but not people with God. Therefore, people cannot make a new beginning at all; they can only pray for one. Where people are on their own and live by their own devices, there is only the old, the past.
The church is not a religious community of worshippers of Christ but is Christ himself who has taken form among people.
We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God. . . . . We must not. . . . . assume that our schedule is our own to manage, but allow it to be arranged by God.

I've kind of fashioned my life after a Slinky. Bend me in a million shapes, and eventually I'll spring back to what I originally was.
