Henry closed his eyes and prepared for sleep, but the preacher man was just getting into his stride.

“God,” he intoned, “is like the good pharmacist, measuring out our medicine, so that we get not one more particle than is good for us. NOT ONE PARTICLE MORE! He never sends us more pain than we can handle.”
