The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might
never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been
complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things
will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate
us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you. There's only one
catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if
you'll reach out and take it. Maybe being able to reach out and take it
is a gift too.

BUCKNACKT'S SORDID TAWDRY BLOG We should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive & well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate, bier or wein in hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WHOO-HOO, WHAT A RIDE!!!!!!"
