| ...Only God can restore a broken spirit. If you replace a missing piece of cherry pie |

| would surround and choke them as they germinate.... Some will fail, some won’t come up at all, but they enrich the soil to nurture seeds you plant another season. If the seeds don’t grow the way you think they should, is that a reason to believe that planting seeds won’t do you any good? |

| A joy-filled path to God through spiritual meditation, poetry, stories, hymns, and household hints. The author wrote and prayed her way through crisis, discov- ering God's grace in every circumstance... learning to live fully in the present, free from guilt and anxiety. Beautiful photographs by Luc Viatour and others make this a lovely gift for a friend or relative, or for your- self. It is an inspira- tional celebration of life, to be treasured for a lifetime. |
| Well, one can hardly say “the deity formerly known as God,” can one? Most unsatisfactory, so I think that God was quite sensible in simply appearing among us to show us who God is, loving, you know, and not at all warlike, and powerful in the spirit instead of with javelins or catapults, and sending angels who looked like us except without spots—such beautiful men and women, and of course those lovely dogs, which I know some people scoff at, but there are many who believe that dogs are angels, and not all of them are under a doctor's care, the people, I mean, not the dogs, as a rule. |

| Prayer's like planting vegetable seeds. You poke them in the ground in spring and pull the weeds that |
| with salsa, you don’t have a whole, perfect, restored cherry pie. What you have is a big mess, which you stick in your refrigerator on Death Row next to the Gift Box of Exotic Cheeses. |
