It seems almost a cruelty for one generation to beget another when parents can secure so little for their children, so little safety, even in the best circumstances.

"I ruthlessly expend my time and my energies seeking many random things, none of which will bless me in the way that I suppose they will, for despite my frequently stubborn resistance to the thought, the single and sole blessing that I can be utterly confident in is found in seeking God alone."
