Unsolved Mysteries
What is it to these wonderful mysteries of our faith that we embrace as foundational ground stones of our belief, why would we continue to seek an understanding for something that has been deemed a mystery and accepted as a mystery for thousands and thousands of years? Why do we keep going back to the spring of knowledge and understanding when there are scores of others who cannot know, understand, or define?

When the Music Stops and the Dance is Done
Season 7 Epiosde 182
When the Music Stops and the Dance is Done
You are dancing with your partner to your favorite song when the music stops and the dancefloor disappears. Does the dance make sense anymore? With no beat to synchronize your steps, is it a dance with meaning anymore? I’d say not. It becomes awkward movements to a song that doesn’t exist and none of it matters: not the rhythm, the flow, the grand crescendo, nor the big dip at the end.
When the world goes away, or our time in it – when the music stops and the dancefloor goes away – when you are faced with the heavenly notions of God, do you expect to be doing the same things you were doing on this earth?

These Problems and the Pain they Cause
Season 7 Episode 181
These Problems and the Pain they Cause
There is a recurring problem in the world and its one that we don’t particularly enjoy dealing with it and its as CS Lewis puts it: the problem of pain. Everywhere we look we see suffering and agonizing through the trials of life and we see folks who carry heavy, heavy loads – some that are so heavy we wonder how they are not crushed under the weight of it.
Pain comes in many different shapes and sizes and it does not discriminate to whom or when it rears its ugly head, but come to us it does, often in such a way that it makes little sense of the who, what, when, where, or why of things.
