You know what I have noticed? And this is really sad. Flying first class is less scary than flying coach.

He would say to such people, 'If you became a Christian you would stop being surprised or ashamed of your condition. You would be happy with it. For faith would assure you that you could not know what God is until he reveals himself to us openly.'

For an instant the wordless shock of his realization seemed more than he could bear.
