Waiting on Saturday

Philip Yancey:

It is a good thing to remember that in the cosmic drama, we live out our days on Saturday, the in-between day with no name.  I know a woman whose grandmother lies buried under 150-year-old live oak trees in the cemetery of an Episcopal church in rural Louisiana. In accordance with the grandmother’s instructions, only one word is carve on the tombstone: “Waiting.”  (The Jesus I Never Knew, 275).
