Great quotes from Suzanne:
Every day, at 67 and 71, we get up and ask ourselves the question what is ours to do today, and what is the next right thing for us to do, and what would God have us to do.
When people begin to commit themselves to a deeper spiritual journey, the first two things that happen are they run into the fact that they don’t like themselves. And the Enneagram helps you get over that. And the second thing is struggles with family of origin and with other people. And the Enneagram helps you get over that.
I can’t fall in love with a God that I’m afraid of.
The idea that we are conditionally loved by God is a contributor to conditionally loving other people.
