Why Did God Make Dorks?
The more I know the more I feel stupider because I realize how little I actually know. It started when I met God and he let me ask the questions I had. Only, when God would respond it would spur like 20 more questions and not concrete answers that left me at peace. So I stopped asking questions about life, the world and such.
Recently I started praying deep into God's word and looking at my sins, my desires, my past, and my future. I feel frustrated that there is no instant fact that will make it all alright, and as often as we try in Sunday school Jesus isn't always the answer that brings peace. Luke 12:51-53 shows this too clearly!
"Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division; for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three. they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law." (NASB)
So knowledge is folly, yet here I am at Bible school chasing it and chasing a dream and chasing woman - yes a woman (who woulda though???). Oh well, as I take 1 step forward I take 3 back and continue toward the prize.... I think?!?
