on faith vs. reason
Came across a particular insight last night in prayer–It hit me like a ton of bricks, it was on the idea that faith for the sake of faith can strengthen your love for someone you know nothing about. Yet in happens in such a profound and unique way that it’s almost easy to overlook. Sure God can show himself every generation, prove himself and be done with it. But there is something profound in trusting in that which you cannot see. Yet not as a crutch, this kind of trust is the same that you apply when someone tells you something like “I need some cash for a ride across town, can you help me out?” One’s first reaction might be “He want’s to get a beer or cigarettes.” Think of the trust it takes to just give someone hard earned money in the trust that they might use it for a ride or actually for food. When one trains that trust eventually it comes innate and reactive, but not a thought.
I believe England exists, I believe there are people there, but I’ve never been there. I have faith in its existence. All the videos I’ve seen could be faked and images of a different place. But come on, lets get real. England exists
everything is so tightly interwoven, it’s almost disarming.

I don’t think England exists. I think it’s called the UK now.
you win, on technicality. you could have gone the nihilistic route, but I like that this better
Hah! You answered quite quickly. I’m impressed. =]
my blog is wired to my brain, don’t want to brag but it’s pretty sweet. or maybe it’s my email. either brain or email, I can’t remember.
Email alerts are always nice, but I’ll pretend you’ve got this thing wired to brain. It’s more fun that way. Besides, it’s nice to know people are reading your blog. =]
word. I track hits on it and other sites I run, surprisingly this gets the most hits, but least comments. maybe people come thinking it will be cooler or something
who knows.
It’s pretty much what I would have expected from you. =] Impressive but still mysterious with some sort of underlying subtext I can’t quite figure out at midnight.
Well, I suppose you’ve gotten bored with me. Guess that’s good night. =]
I R was making food to fully I belly. *stomps around*
Well, my mistake! I apologize. =]
