Things sounded rather well for Screwtape and Wormwood at the end of the first letter. But no letter that has “I note with grave displeasure” can be good. Add to that the comment that “your patient has become a Christian”, and we know right away, Screwtape Letter #2 is not going to be a happy one for Wormwood.
Sometimes we need to take a break. And if we really need one and don’t take it, God might tell us to lie down in green pastures. I’ve been there. Done that. And apparently, needed to do it again.
