Living in the present
Maggi writes about encountering a man shouting at a small crowd while standing on a crate and shaking his Bible.
My son asked me why he was shouting. “He’s shouting about God,” I said. Mystified pause. “He knows about God? Then why is he so angry?” said my son, “doesn’t he know it’s Saturday and the sun is shining? He should be relaxing.”
“Doesn’t he know it’s Saturday and the sun is shining?” That sounds like wisdom beyond a child.

Don’t you think the children said the same thing the day before The Flood?

This is my observation: there appears to be a whole lot of fear going on in your faith – floods, fires, wrath and damnation. Whilst issues of judgment and punishment may lie near the heart of your interpretation of the bible, what’s it doing for your soul here on Earth? Is it healthy?
