More From Garrison Keillor

My feelings are not god. god is god. my feelings do not define truth. god’s word defines truth. my feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. and sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. when that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - i try not to bend the truth to justify my imperfect feelings, but rather, i plead with god: purify my perceptions of your truth and transform my feelings so that they are in sync with the truth.

People get sick and sometimes they get better and sometimes they don't. and it doesn't matter if the sickness is cancer or if it's depression. sometimes the drugs work and sometimes they don't. sometimes the drugs work for a while and then they stop. sometimes the alternative stuff works and sometimes it doesn't. and sometimes you wonder if no outside interference makes any difference at all; if an illness is like a storm, if it simply has to run its course and, at the end of it, depending on how robust you are, you will be alive. or you will be dead.
Running Cancer Differences
A craftsman pulled a reed from the reedbed, cut holes in it, and called it a human being. since then, it's been wailing a tender agony of parting, never mentioning the skill that gave it life as a flute
Cutting Agony Skills
The feelings i don't have i don't have. the feelings i don't have, i won't say i have. the felings you say you have, you don't have. the feelings you would like us both to have, we neither of us have.

My albert married his maisie brown as he said he would. but i think she never took to me, nor i to her for that matter. perhaps it was a feeling of mutual jealousy.
Thinking Feelings Matter
Lately, i've been getting too much attention with the met gala and work going so well that i try to find rejection in my day. i'll seek out someone on the street or at the farmers' market and ask for something where i know they'll say no. no one likes rejection, but it's real. and i don't want to lose that feeling.
