When everything seems possible but certainties are few, when limits seem to disappear and old rules yield to new, we learn with painful frequency how small our scope has been, how vast and webbed the half-grasped truths that lie beyond our ken. Beyond the quest for pow'r and wealth (with fame's addictive buzz), beyond each new technology that dazzles as it does, we yearn for something deep and true, for purpose, meaning, worth: some cosmic clue connected with our being on this earth. When nothing seems to satisfy our never-ending greed, when countless human schemes have failed to fill our deepest need, we turn to glimpse beyond ourselves what we both need and lack: a God who waited, loved, and watched until we should come back.
