Here are some quotes I took out of Anne Lamott's book "Traveling Mercies." I hope you enjoy them.

"In fact, not forgiving is like drinking rat poison and waiting for the rat to die."

"Man is born broken. He lives by mending. The grace of God is glue."

"When a lot of things start going wrong at once, it is to protect something big and lovely that is trying to get itself born-and that this something needs for you to be distracted so that it can be born as perfectly possible."

"They say we are not punished for the sin but by the sin..."

"You can tell you have created God in your own image when it turns out that he or she hates all the same people you do."

"Courage is fear that has said its prayers."

What are your thoughts?
