"I understand that [he] meant grace in the theological sense, meant it as the force that infuses our lives and keeps letting us off the hook. It is unearned love--the love that goes before, that greets us on the way. It's the help you receive when you have no bright ideas left, when you are empty and desperate and have discovered that your best thinking and most charming charm have failed you....I do not understand the mystery of grace--only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us."
--From Traveling Mercies: Some thoughts on faith, by Anne Lamott.
