... the evil that comes out of your lips, into your own bosom will fall.

Perhaps when the light of heaven shows us clearly the pitfalls and dangers of the earth road that led to the heavenly city, our sweetest songs of gratitude will be not for the troubles we have conquered, but for those we have escaped.

Love, like destiny, loves surprises.
