The book Kelly recommended: Into the Silent Land by Martin Laird

Memorable quote: “We need each other and we think we don’t. In our society we’re made to feel we need to be autonomous, be independent, do your own thing, but you realize how powerful it is when we actually do life together.”

“God is a God of celebration and laughter.”

“The table is a place of healing.”
