These forces that often remake time and space, that can shape and alter who weimagine ourselves to be, begin long before we are born and continue after we perish. Our lives and our choices, like quantum trajectories, are understood moment to moment. That each point of intersection, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction.

"The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance."
"God longs for men to be saved. God is at work to get men to stop their downward plunge in sin."
