Well what if this is His plan? What if we just can't see it?

Reverend Ernst Toller Courage is the solution to despair, reason provides no answers. I can't know what the future will bring; we have to choose despite uncertainty. Wisdom is holding two contradictory truths in our mind, simultaneously, Hope and despair. A life without despair is a life without hope. Holding these two ideas in our head is life itself. Reverend Ernst Toller The man who says nothing always seems more intelligent. Why couldn't I just keep silent? Reverend Ernst Toller Now Michael, I can promise you that whatever despair you feel about bringing a child into this world cannot equal the despair of taking a child from it.
