I Very Much Believe In Things Unseen, Both Of Positive And Destructive Energy, And I Have Never Seen The Exorcist Through From Start To Finish.

So I Respect Mr. Friedkin's Extraordinary Success With That, But It's Not A Picture I'll Ever See.

I Have A Very Ecumenical Faith. I Have A Very Inclusive Faith. There's A Quote I Love From Recovery Literature That Says, "the Realm Of The Spirit Is Roomy And Broad. It Is Open To All." I've Absolutely Staked My Life On That.

A Wonderful Pastor I Know Once Told Me, "perfectionism Is The Highest Order Of Self-abuse." So Now I Try To Remind Myself That If I Engage In Perfectionism, I Am Abusing Myself. Period.
