As a frequent contemplative of theological paradoxes, I appreciate the thought below. The quote is by John Piper (renowned modern Calvinist) comparing his similarities to G.K. Chesterton (Roman Catholic adamantly opposed to Calvinism).
"And we both believe that paradox is woven into the nature of the universe, and that resisting it drives a person mad. 'Poets don’t go mad; but chess-players do. Mathematicians go mad, and cashiers; but creative artists very seldom. . . . The poet only asks to get his head into the heavens. It is the logician who seeks to get the heavens into his head. And it is his head that splits.'"

I've always loved that line by Chesterton. Have a lovely Thanksgiving, Katie!
True that!
