    Christians wait and watch for Jesus’ return. We know the season, but we don’t know the time, and we live in the paradox.

We might wait for a train at Bell and Grand, or wait in a line at the grocery store, or twiddle our time away waiting to see a doctor. Waiting is a part of lives, even though none of ...read more
