"I’ll never be lonely, even if I am alone, for I have a precious Savior who’ll come to take me home. But while I’m here, his servant I will be- with one foot on earth, and one in eternity. I’ll gather his crops to populate the land, and if I feel weary I’ll cling tighter to his hand."

"How can this be? How could we have been just sitting there, happily eating our lunch, and then Jess announces that she's gay? Like who does that anyway? And how is it possible that I never even saw this coming? I mean if you best friend has no clue that you're gay, then who does?"
