”Each song has a little blurb about it before the lyrics on the liner notes. But I'd like to say something here about the title track, ‘Everything and Nothing’. September 11th, 2001 still haunts me. I did not know anyone who died that day, but it didn't matter. I had nightmares for weeks afterwards.”

“In our time of greatest sorrow, many of our religious leaders did little to comfort us. Some even said we deserved the destruction of that day and worse, because of our sins. Well, that's wrong (If you need any proof, reread the story of Job). Last I checked, Jesus paid back our sins with the of His only Son, Jesus. One sacrifice, for the sins of the whole world.”

“Friends who were at ground zero spoke about how little was left of the human remains. Everything was reduced to a giant pile of dust. So here were my questions to the Lord. ‘If we are dust, then how could you love us so much? How can you know us before you formed us in our mother's womb, yet allow us to be reduced to dust in an instant? How can our hairs be counted while thousands fall in minutes?”

“The answer was another great riddle from the Lord. We mean everything to Him. He loves us so much that He sent his only Son Jesus to die a horrible on the cross for our sins and the sins of the whole world. Yet in our human state, we are also nothing more than common elements: dust somehow endowed with a very fragile existence. I will be meditating on that mystery for the rest of my life. To Him, we are at the same time ‘Everything and Nothing’."
