The location is delightful. The Atrium is one of Shropshire’s most handsome restaurants.

"Now we see as through a glass darkly" (1 Corinthians 13:12). To know what lies ahead distorts what lies at hand. If we knew the events of our future, our present would be changed. The knowledge that an accident will happen might keep us from taking the journey. The assurance of future success might keep us from the learning the lessons needed to get there. Knowing exactly what lies ahead will plant the seeds of arrogance that choke out the fruit of humility in our soul.
