Pourquoi Pas . . . Why Not

But the Hebrew word, the word timshel—
‘Thou mayest’
—that gives a choice. 

It might be the most important word in the world. 

That says the way is open. 

That throws it right back on a man. 

For if ‘Thou mayest’—it is also true that ‘Thou mayest not.'

~John Steinbeck, East of Eden

Choices. We make them every day.

Held in the sovereign will of God.

How humbling.
