Growing Strong at Broken Places

There is a tendency in us to want to live tension-free. But, I believe that this teniosn is God's gift to us, a gift that sometimes will not permit us to escape its presence. I believe that our creative energies are activated by just that kind of upsetting tension. It is in responding to this gnawing discomfort that we have the possibility of giving shape to dreams that are at once faithful to who we are and who we can become.
