"If there were no final, ultimate judgment day, then God's total knowledge of my life would not be so threatening. Or if He knew all things but were not all-powerful, I might be less intimated. Or even if He were omniscient and omnipotent but not altogether holy, I might have a chance to negotiate

Our youngest daughter, Kimberly, had only been married a year when she told us, “I don’t know why people say the first year is so hard. All you have to do is be nice to each other.” We laughed, of course, because … after all … they were still just newlyweds. But really, what she said is true.
