I've never rejected the world I came from. To be rejected by it is horrible.

Corrigan told me once that Christ was quite easy to understand. He went where He was supposed to go. He stayed where He was needed.

If He had rejected it, He would have been rejecting mystery. And if He rejected mystery, He would have been rejecting faith.

The next time you feel rejection's sting, remember God's words to Samuel: "It is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me." (1 Sam. 8:7)
When my record company rejected 'Full Moon Fever', I was hurt so bad. I was pretty far along in my career at that point. I'd never had anything rejected; I'd never really even had a comment. So when that happened, it was really just a board to the forehead. But then, finally, I picked myself up.
