quote of theological humility

"What we must assert, however, is that this is a poverty in our understanding of the precreation situation and not a lack in God's own life. We are, in fact, more than a little like small children in school, who often have great difficulty in grasping the fact that their teacher has a life of her own, separate from what she does in teaching them."
