To speak of God, to think of God, is in every respect to show what one is made of. I have always wagered against God and I regard the little that I have won in this world as simply the outcome of this bet.

Newton, John

EVERY path may lead you to God, even the weird ones. Most of us are on a journey. WeÆre looking for something, though weÆre not always sure what that is. The way is foggy much of the time. I suggest you slow down and follow some of the side roads that appear suddenly in the mist.
