"But for a Christian, there are, stricly speaking, no chances. A secret Master of the Ceremonies has been at work. Christ who said to the disciples, "Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you," you can truly say to every group of Christian friends "You have not chosen one another but I have chosen you for one another." The Friendship is not a reward for our discrimination and good taste in finding one another out. It is the instrument by which God reveals to each the beauties of all the others. They are, like all beauties derived from Him, and then, in a good Friendship increased by Him through the Friendship itself, so that it is His instrument for creating as well as for revealing."
-C. S Lewis (The Four Loves)
When you love God, nothing is simply left up to chance or without significance that is such a beautiful thought to me.

WHEW! Quality quote...I'm going to have to pass it along to a couple of my buddies. I'm not sure when you leave for CA - I think any day now - but I can't wait to hear what the LORD does. Keep us posted on here! :)
