"May God bless you with discomfort, At easy answers, half-truths, And superficial relationships..."
We need to know that the crazy events may startle the bejeebers out of us, but it has not taken God by surprise at all. He is right where He has always been, holding out His hand to us in invitation to join Him in His work.
