You don't choose your family. They are God's gift to you, as you are to them.

We may be surprised at the people we find in heaven. God has a soft spot for sinners. His standards are quite low.

If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
