"Maintaining Control" reigns in the modern west. Thus, two cultural assumptions dictate that ways we operate:
1) Explanation - 'We deserve Clarity.'
2) Certainty - Causality reigns.
As always, God is never limited to our contructs. Timing and outcome was never ours to control...
Like the Ghana's SanKoFa, we are able to see the unpredictable hand in God when we look back as we move forward.
