I have always been inspired by people who use their faith to grow. They know where "home" is but appreciate and experience the contributions of other spiritual traditions. They all too often get marginalised by those of their own traditions that see faith as a fortress to keep the "unpure" out. Lionel wants you to tackle life and people honestly and see the humour of it where you least expect. Treat your weakness as the means to appreciate others rather then as stick to beat yourself and show more others. Always fear the self righteous, they left the abandoned traveller to die show less
Find God in the every day and the "unholy". This uses holidays and travel as a way of encountering and reflecting on spiritual issues.
" if someone comes to you for help, don't say, God will help you. That is being disloyal to God. God sent you to help those who need you, not refer them back to Him"
Read Leviticus 19:33-4 and think of the Palestine question
