More Quotes from James McBride:
I was ashamed of my mother, but see, love didn't come natural to me until I became a Christian.- Ruth McBrideJames McBride
There's such a big difference between being dead and alive, I told myself, the greatest gift that anyone can give anyone else is life. And the greatest sin a person can do to another is to take away that life. Next to that, all the rules and religions in the world are secondary; mere words and beliefs that people choose to believe and kill and hate by. My life won't be lived that way, and neither, I hope, will my children's.
