Or earthquakeS.
"We are called to live at the overlap both of heaven and earth - the earth that has yet to be fully redeemed as one day it will be - and of God's future and this world's present. We are caught on a small island near the point where these tectonic plates - heaven and earth, future and present - are scrunching themselves together. Be ready for earthquakes!"
- N.T. Wright (from Simply Christian)
You know when practically every waking thought you have is published that a sizable mantle of leadership has found its way onto your shoulders. It makes it that much more refreshing how playful and (at times) off the cuff N.T. Wright is in his books. His joy shines through despite the earthquakes.

Good point - I guess they're bittersweet earthquakes. Living the "already" in the "not yet" provides tension and challenge - - - but the "already" that we do experience (and look forward to the fullness of) definitely is the greatest source of joy
and hope . . . but he'll probably talk about that in another book . . .
