Is your Christianity ancient history--or current events?

Summary

This quote questions the relevance of one's Christianity by comparing it to either ancient history or current events. It implies that a person's Christianity should not just be confined to the past or a mere belief, but rather should be an active part of their present life. It invites individuals to reflect on whether their faith is something they only claim to have experienced in the past, or if it is an ongoing, dynamic part of their daily existence.

If I am to have my choice I will stay as I am. I will not alter any of the parts which You have made for me, for other and doubtless inferior tools, and I will stay a defenceless embryo all my life, doing my best to make myself a few feeble implements out of the wood, iron, and other materials which You have seen fit to put before me. If I want a boat I will try to construct it out of trees, and if I want to fly, I will put together a chariot to do it for me.

I would walk along the quais when I had finished work or when I was trying to think something out. It was easier to think if I was walking and doing something or seeing people doing something that they understood.
