I finished a book by Scot McKnight this week that was ho-hum to me. I really like reading his blog, so I was looking forward to reading a book by him, but I was a little disappointed. One thing that stuck out to me was a quote from Frederick Buechner that I had come across years ago but had forgotten about. It's a definition of grace. Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are, because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you.
Can't you see why Buechner is among my favorite authors!
