God in the shower
The perfection of God’s Word is not boiled down but running over
Andrée Seu

The perfection of God's Word is a multifaceted perfection, not a monolithic one. Too rich to be harnessed in a single utterance—God is lord, shepherd, rock, eagle, bear, lion, lamb, king, horn, and consuming fire—God's truth is displayed in the prism of 66 books and several genres. Neglect one, as I recently did, and you may get into trouble.

C.S. Lewis had a circle of friends self-styled the "Inklings." When one of the group died, Lewis thought he would be able to help himself to more of his other friend. He found instead he had less of him. The departed companion, in his unrepeatable uniqueness, had had access to a part of the third mate that Lewis did not. That dimension now lay interred forever in the dead man's bones. When you lose a friend you lose a universe.
the rest
