A fool must now and then be right, by chance
Now is our chance to choose the right side. God is holding back to give us that chance. It won't last forever. We must take it or leave it.

That will not be the time for choosing: it will be the time when we discover which side we really have chosen, whether we realized it before or not.

Sometimes God picks you up and tells you, "You've been messing around now. You're going to have to stop this, stop that, but I'll give you another chance." And you wonder why you're given another chance. It must be for something; it must be to celebrate life.
