we do not appreciate the truth concerning the being and character of God. it is this failure that accounts, ultimately, for all our other troubles. we will persist in thinking of God as one of ourselves, as but a man, and we look at his actions as if they were the actions of a human being. we always start with ourselves, with our measurements, with our judgements and assessments...

start with God, with the greatness, the glory, the inscrutability of his marvelous, wonderful, gracious ways.

remember that day
we just drove
without a care in the world
