“There’s a day, she’d told him. There’s a last, best day. The day when everything is as good as it’s ever going to be. And if you’re not paying attention, you might miss it. It’s the day when you’re healthy, and everyone you love is okay, and maybe the sun is shining, and you’re doing something stupid like making a cup of tea or reading a book on the porch. And there’s a whole list of things you want but don’t have, and that might be what you’re thinking about. And not a single one of them matters. Because everything that’s important is right there. And, Mav, it’s so easy to miss it completely.”

“The Bible tells the great, true story of redemption, of a God who created a good world, watched as that world was corrupted by sin and rebellion, and is at work redeeming it on the trajectory to a new heaven and a new earth. The Bible is not a set of rules, a love letter, a book of magic words, or a science or history textbook.”
― Michael J. Svigel, A Practical Primer on Theological Method: Table Manners for Discussing God, His Works, and His Ways
