The Steinkamp book "The Prodigal's Perspective" says this,
"Thinking about going home might be like a bag of popcorn popping. At first a pop now and then. As things heat up the pops become more frequent almost endless. If you will continue to stand and to pray there will come a time when the timer of heaven sounds and your mate will realize they have no option but to come home."
I am going to start eating more popcorn! LOL
Glad to know that you are getting something out of "The Prodigal's Perspective"!
