Like when you sit in front of a fire in winter — you are just there in front of the fire. You don't have to be smart or anything. The fire warms you.

If that were God's plan, it's a bad bargain; I don't want to have to deal with a God like that...My sense is God and I came to an accommodation with each other a couple of decades ago, where he's gotten used to the things that I'm not capable of and I've come to terms with things he's not capable of...and we care very much about each other.

Maggie thinks it's part of God's plan like God has people murdered and tortured for some inexplicable reason that we will all have to trust. We will understand one day when we get to see the re-runs up in heaven, and we will all applaud at what a wonderful plan it was. Does God then take a bow and accept a cosmic Oscar

Doing the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about His plans.

It took six days from start to finish for the totality of Creation; but within three days He cut His schedule in half to save you.

Why do you give up on yourself, When God will never ever give up on you?
