Reminds me that I have offered copies of Fields of Gold and of Anything to friends, with a friendly warning that these could turn out to be life-changing books. No takers, except for one unlikely fellow — given that he is a Catholic because his wife is a Catholic. But he got the message of Fields of Gold. (What he’ll do with it, we’ll find out later.) So, why is everyone afraid of putting God behind the wheel? I’ll tell you why. It’s because we’re afraid of where he might take us. And he may not remember or place much weight upon how this whole adventure looks to us or how much adventure we’re game for. So we prefer to build our own little raft out of left over lumber, little realizing that he is just over the horizon heading toward us in this huge, magnificent yacht with (who’s that?) Astrid on the bridge. And there will never lack for someone to holler out, “So long, sucker.”
