From God and Human Suffering by Douglas John Hall:

The Judeo-Christian tradition does not deny the power of God, but neither does it magnify this attribute; moreover, and more to the point, it does not abstract the divine power from the divine-human relationship. The relationship qualifies–radically–the nature and deployment of power on God’s part.

God’s chooses to honor your will; your choices. Pause, and calmly think on that.

There’s a Subway in town that has a sign on the sneezeguard which says, “Please refrain from using your cell phone while in line.”

This comic brilliantly illustrates why–People zone in on their phones and zone out of reality. The poor sandwich artist simply wants to know what toppings you’d like on your Meatball Marinara. Meanwhile, you’re trying to knock off Jared as the Mayor. The sign could also simply read, “Pay attention!”

Let us never be people who are so preoccupied with our digital lives that we miss the tangible reality right in front of our faces.
