i wanted to read something light, something neutral, something safe from God’s hand working in my life. you know, a little break from spiritual growth. calvin and hobbes? no, God’s gotten me there before. chronicles of narnia? definitely not safe. ahhh… a little 12 page neighborhood paper with real estate listings. oh look, an essay by garrison keillor. i love prarie home companion. i love garrison. so i read the essay which ended with this paragraph:
“Who tells the truth to the man who is driving straight into the setting sun and thinks he’s heading due east? His wife murmers that, uh, maybe we should look at a map, and he accuses her of being a defeatist who tries to tear him down any way she can in order to conceal her own lack of ideas. The man is heading the wrong way and speeding and the idiot light is flashing -low oil pressure- and the idiot is trying to be manly and authoritative, but everyone can see he’s faking it, hoping for God to rearrange the landscape for his convenience. Someone ought to speak up…”
anyone besides me identify with this man? (or perhaps his wife)
oh well, back on the road with much-afraid…

God is everywhere…”Faithful are the wounds of a friend”Why is it tough to tell the someone the truth? sj

I know sometimes it feels like God is far away, but in reality he is never far away. If the Holy Spirit is the “Hound of Heaven in Milton’s Paradise Lost, then how much closer is he to one who identifies God as Father? The very movement of your fingers to type testify of the glory of God.
