> Nature also draws the faith out of me, because it suggests a creator. I just can't imagine the world beginning through a series of accidents. There's just too much order for that.

> If I were to state my religious belief in one word, that word would be love. When we abide in love, we can do no harm. This is the ultimate goal for me.
> Yet here's the rub. I keep falling short. In my own strength I can do nothing. So I have engaged in a life-long pursuit of the Creator. Hoping that I may come to know Him. And when I can know him, I can love like him. And he must have loved us. How else could it be?
