"If I were called upon to state in a few words the essence of everything I was trying to say both as a novelist and as a preacher, it would be something like this: Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is.

I don't mind being blind but I have some well meaning friends who tell me that if I had more faith I could be healed."

Suddenly, Grandma spotted a small plastic item with a button, attached to a cord. "What's that?" she demanded.
