When I meet a new person, I am on the lookout for signs of what he or she is loyal to. It is a preliminary clue to the sense of belonging, and hence of his or her humanity.

I am no theologian. I am a layman. I am among those who are preached to, and who listen. It is not for me to preach. I should not willingly forego being a listener, a man who reads the Gospels and then listens to what others say that our Lord meant. But sometimes a listener speaks out, and listens to his own voice.

I am still a person with a sense of superficiality that I'm trying to challenge.

I am riveted by Phaedra Parks and her performance of herself. She kills me.

I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am.

I am just focusing on one match at a time.
