If ever I reach heaven I expect to find three wonders there: first, to meet some I had not thought to see there; second, to miss some I had expected to see there; and third-- the greatest wonder of all--to find myself there. John Newton (1725-1807)
Well, amen to this. I like the grace and humility he expresses.
