“I can't believe in the God of my Fathers. If there is one Mind which understands all things, it will comprehend me in my unbelief.

“And how high is Christ's cross? As high as the highest heaven, and the throne of God, and the bosom of the Father that bosom out of which forever proceed all created things. Ay, as high as the highest heaven! for if you will receive it when Christ hung upon the cross, heaven came down on earth, and earth ascended into heaven.” IfsEarthFatherHeavenChristForeverHighestCrossesHungThronesBosoms Book:The Good News of God: Sermons Source: The Good News of God: Sermons
“In New Haven, Conn., when I was growing up, there were two sorts of Irish. There were the "drugstore cowboy" micks, who hung around the Elm Street poolroom over Longley's Lunch.
