Love your writing and thoughts, bud. May we continue to lean not on our own understanding. Talk less. Listen more. Specifically to the One who made us and knows how we live at an ultimate - in close, interactive, trusting, admitting-I-am-not-in-charge relationship with Jesus. What is most foolish is a King who didn't have to act like He is in charge (although He is), loving with complete abandon, calling us to live for His Kingdom of love rather than our Kingdom of self. I am trying to learn and live His ways, too. I'm a fool with you. Thankful to be. Right on. Love your writing and thoughts, bud.

I know what you mean about all the questions a daily thing! Having him in my everyday life has changed my life and without him in my life I would not have the support that I needed. Been through alot of tough times. Having God in my life has taken away alot of my burdens and worries! Not all. I feel so much better about myself and who I am more than I ever have. Sometimes we have to let the ones we love the most in our life go! I feel happier in doing so over this past year. I still pray for them everyday! I think we are all fools in some way, just everyone doesn't admit it. Luv ya T I believe in God! I know what you mean about all the questions a daily thing!

Makes about as much sense as asking a chimpanzee to analyze Shakespeare. It's that old Enlightenment fallacy, to think that human reason, progress, and technology provides all of the answers. I would say that admitting that you are God's fool is honoring the mystery of who He is.
