About This Quote
The bus is the only way to travel. The bus is the only way to get from point A to point B. It’s the only way to get from home to school and back home again. Nobody likes the bus driver, but we all want to be on it.
The bus driver doesn’t care about anyone on it: he just drives and drives and drives and drives and drives and drives and drives and drives, never worrying about anyone else on the road. So why would we expect God, who is like a bus driver, to care about us?
