More From Henri Nouwen

The ministry of truth, which concerned itself with news, entertainment, education and fine arts. the ministry of peace, which concerned itself with war. the ministry of love, which maintained law and order. and the ministry of plenty, which is responsible for economic affairs. their names, in newspeak: minitrue, minipax, miniluv and miniplenty
Art War Memorable
To follow jesus implies that we enter into a way of life that is given character and shape and direction by the one who calls us. to follow jesus means picking up rhythms and ways of doing things that are often unsaid but always derivative from jesus, formed by the influence of jesus. to follow jesus means that we can't separate what jesus is saying from what jesus is doing and the way that he is doing it. to follow jesus is as much, or maybe even more, about feet as it is about ears and eyes" (the way of jesus, eugene h. peterson, 22).
Jesus Character Mean
The ministry of peace concerns itself with war, the ministry of truth with lies, the ministry of love with torture and the ministry of plenty with starvation. these contradictions are not accidental , nor do they result from from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink
War Lying Exercise
Without extended, concentrated prayer, the ministry of the word withers. and when the ministry of the word declines, faith (rom. 10:17; gal. 3:2, 5) and holiness (john 17:17) decline. activity may continue, but life and power and fruitfulness fade away. therefore, whatever opposes prayer opposes the whole work of ministry.

Christian Jesus White
I know married catholics in a second union who go to church, who go to church once or twice a year and say i want communion, as if joining in communion were an award. it's a work towards integration, all doors are open, but we cannot say, 'from here on they can have communion.'

Working with robin williams, what can you say? he's the best of the best. what i really liked watching was, not only is he incredible funny, probably the funniest person on earth which is a tough award to give out, but to see what it really takes to be a huge star is way beyond a good partner being extremely funny.
