Life

"Sooner or later you figure out life is constructed specifically & brilliantly to squeeze a man into association with the Owner of heaven. It is a struggle, with labor pains & thorny landscape, bloody hands & a sweaty brow, head in hands, moments of severe loneliness & questioning, moments of ache & desire.
Life is a dance toward God..."
And the dance is not so graceful as we might want. While we glide & swing our practiced sway, God crowds our feet, bumps our toes, & scuffs our shoes. So we learn to dance with the One who made us. And it is a difficult dance to learn, because its steps are foreign."
