This is what we see when we take a close look at the videotape, at the Book of the World. We see greed and gluttony, and we see neglect, and we see a growing army of innocent sufferers, whose cries fall on deaf ears down here but are heard and recorded in heaven. . . .

But the annoying thing about God is that God seems to be interested in everyone. It's on the tape. It's written in the book of our life.
