I am wondering about the implications of "what I didn't get" for now, for life in my seventieth decade. I wonder, today, if there is any significant place for me in the kind of churches I attend, for instance.
Here's what I am thinking in September, 2014. I'm thinking that all sides of this issue have good reasons to believe they see faith from the "right" perspective. All sides.
I'm thinking that the way I see it is "best". So what? I'm probably wrong, but then, who isn't?
I'm thinking that only a living God can pull these points of view together. If God chooses to. What if God does not choose to at this time? Darn! I may not be able to do one single thing about it.
I'm thinking that I may have to live with the pain of incompleteness, of not getting most things my way, of feeling out of place and out of time wherever and whenever I am. I've had a fair amount of practice with this over the 76 years of living I have been exposed to and participated in.
I'm thinking that just because I think I "get it", chances are I am only getting a tiny bit of the surface of the reality. I'd love to think I was smarter and had more insight than all this, but. . .d
So what do you think? Leave a comment and let us know.
