God, I cannot love Thee the way I want to. You are the slim crescent of a moon that I see and my self is the earth’s shadow that keeps me from seeing all the moon . . . what I am afraid of, dear God, is that my self shadow will grow so large that it blocks the whole moon, and that I will judge myself by the shadow that is nothing. I do not know You God because I am in the way.
--O'Connor, cited by Tim Keller (see below)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil...
Shadows can't hurt! --Dr. James Merritt, cited by Pastor Tom Duchemin
