 e psalm\, God may observe us 'falling' at some time into evil and 'so made
  worthless (Ps 14:3).' After sparing us for a while because God is loving 
 and waits for us to improve\, we may be told later\, 'This you did\, and I

 is a never-ending\, unremitting\, totally absorbing enterprise. God is int
