"At last I have arrived" is a cruel deception. <yancey>

i wonder if arriving even happens in heaven? i know in my life i slip into that "everything in it's right place and all is well" mentality where i think parenting ends, financial sacrifice ends, disease ends, depression ends, and so forth- but what really changes my perspective is when i come to know that God is using the depression, God is using the financial crisis, God is using the disobedient child to draw me into total dependance upon him. I think desperate people cause Jesus to show his wares.
