OK, I’ll try God! Apprenticeships are like discipleship. The tortoise and the hare. We have lost the ability to wait patiently and to live with a long-term perspective. We want it all, and we want it now. In Weight of Glory, C. S. Lewis wrote: “We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.”
