“My hope is that the description of God’s love in my life will give you the freedom and the courage to discover . . . God’s love in yours."

The Incarnation





Words from Madeleine L'Engle, "Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith & Art":

"Perhaps for the Christian the Incarnation is the best example of that magnificent 'probable impossible.' It has been called the 'scandal of the particular,' for to many people it is scandalous that the Lord of the universe should condescend to come to his people as an ordinary man, with every human restriction. Why would ultimate power choose to limit itself in such a humiliating way? Is this really what love is about? The answer to this question has challenged artists throughout the centuries. How can this probable impossible be real?"
