Not positve but-

Life in a world so prevalent with wrong, and wounds and unrest forces us to really decide who we believe God to be. I think on this side of eternity, it might be the passage of this sort of time that we decide if it should teach us to trust in God's goodness. The reward of this decision will reflect a range of motion, an understanding of our free will and its contraints commensurate to our trust or love of God. For this, let me learn to love God more in the midst of adversity and unrest.

Under the ice

We need truth to live. Many, if not all in some way or another, hide underneath the ice of incorrect belief. There must remain at least an air-hole of truth by which they retain contact with the open world. Once this hole closes up, it's only a matter of time before they lose touch with reality and decompose in some insanity.

My Christian faith is not something that closes me off from new realities that might contradict some held belief. My faith is something that requires me to drop beneath the surface from time to time, but reacquire the surface and maintain the avenues by which I gain truth.

Sometimes this means being a bit of a Narwhal.

Bee and Boy

Does the bee blame the boy for the sting

Boy is but boy
Bee is but bee
Wings need not be pulled
Stings need not be stung
And the true souled boy would not
Tormentor be
But for knowledge of the sting
