[…] believe the world belongs to them or to some unnamed, unapproachable power out there. They live reactive lives, responding to the actions of fickle circumstance—making plans, and changing them as the world changes around them, hoping to steal something good and meaningful from an Olympian-like god of Fate who has never existed and never cared.””

[…] at the time. “Is it okay if I love you?” This year we celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary. Romance should not be the center of our meaning to life, but often God does use it to place us in His plan for His kingdom. Now 54 years after that apartment encounter, still working […]
