Fogbound

I grew up in the city of fog, loving the glorious mists as they poured over the mountains like maple syrup, rejoicing when the sun broke through in the afternoons.    And I've been wrestling with how to see God's path for us.  So this translation of the often-quoted and generally obtuse First Corinthians was a pleasant surprise

We don’t yet see things clearly. We’re squinting in a fog, peering through a mist. But it won’t be long before the weather clears and the sun shines bright! We’ll see it all then, see it all as clearly as God sees us, knowing him directly just as he knows us!  But for right now, until that completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly.
