bible thinking suffering
American culture has always known success, not suffering, so we've never known what to do with this part of the Bible. The more we succeed, the more we're seduced into thinking we can control everything. We dissect Revelation to get a sense of control over the future.

So far from the gates of hell prevailing against it, it hammers on their triple steel.

Perhaps the crime situation would be improved if we could get more cops off television and onto the streets.

Retirement, we understand, is great if you are busy, rich, and healthy. But then, under those circumstances, work is great too.
stars worry progress
Occasionally we sigh for an earlier day when we could just look at the stars without worrying whether they were theirs or ours.
