Idle musings by a once again bookseller, always bibliophile, current copyeditor and proofreader. Complete with ramblings about biblical studies, the ancient Near East, bicycling, gardening, or anything else I am reading (or experiencing). All more or less live from Red Wing, MN

This is curiously similar to the Stoic saw: Fata volentem ducunt, nolentem trahunt (something like "One who is willing is guided by Destiny, while one who is unwilling is dragged." I wouldn't doubt that Bonhoeffer was familiar with it.
I read Bonhoeffer in small doses as he is somtimes quite painful and convicting to read. I do so love his writings. Thanks for posting this today.
