“I've got three kids. I worry about them but the gospel freed me and freed my wife. We are not trying to make our kids think that we're super spiritual or we've got it all together. They see mom and dad being real people. What they hear dad talking about at home is not different from what they see from dad [at church].

“In his very rejection of art Walt Whitman is an artist. He tried to produce a certain effect by certain means and he succeeded....He stands apart, and the chief value of his work is in its prophecy, not in its performance. He has begun a prelude to larger themes. He is the herald to a new era. As a man he is the precursor of a fresh type. He is a factor in the heroic and spiritual evolution of the human being. If Poetry has passed him by, Philosophy will take note of him.” IfsMenHumansMeanArtPhilosophySpiritualArtistCertainValuesHuman BeingsEffectsProduceTypeEvolutionPerformancesNotesFactorsChiefsErasRejectionThemeHeroicProphecyWaltNew EraPreludeSpiritual EvolutionPrecursor Author:Oscar Wilde
