Dessert First
Joost Nixon’s introductory editorial for the Fatherhood issue of St. Anne’s Pub is simply fantastic. I listened to it three times back to back over my lunch break today. It is so good, in fact, that I have to quote part of it here…
In God’s economy, He serves up our parental dinners in reverse order, with dessert first, and the other courses following. All the courses are smashing, and in ways as different as a grilled ribeye is from fresh sour dough. But nothing that follows is as sweet and fleeting as infancy. Fearing that if I am a moment distracted, God will carry off my dessert half-eaten, I am greedily savouring Judah’s infancy.
