"So just take pleasure in playing the Game."

Perhaps there is a specific answer,
that we will never learn - in this lifetime.
Perhaps the nature of God is so complex and multifaceted
that each view of God describes an aspect of the complex whole.
Or perhaps the nature of God is actually defined by our beliefs.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected?
I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us.

through all time, or die by suicide.

Hearts full of truth,
Six parts gin to one part vermouth.

or too menial when offered to Thee in loving service.
