BY THE WAY has a double meaning. We use the phrase to mean "incidentally." It is those fortuitous random incidents, the micro, not the necessarily macro events that really make a life. The names, the surprises, the challenge of routine events yield a life of humor, improbabilities, achievement, and joy. You have heard it said, "The devil is in the details." True, but I have found that "God is in the details as well." The phrase "The Way" or the "Path" is planted in the Scriptures. "The Path of the Just." The "Way of the Righteous," The "Way of the Holiness." God's directions, the journey, the "Way to live." Early Christians, guarding their conversations, inquired "Are you on the Way?" How far up the Way are you?" Before the great love chapter (I Cor. 13), St. Paul says, "Now I will show you the most excellent way" (NIV). The WAY is revealed. Willis E. Snowbarger
