moment of clarity?
Lately I've been struggling with the purpose and place of the Bible and maybe I will continue to struggle with it but I just had a sort of aha! moment. perhaps because the bible is so complex, and is so opinionated... perhaps thats what makes it so cool and so important. Not because it was handed down from God directly, or because He told the Biblical writers the words to use, but maybe because he didn't. Maybe it can be used so wholly as a tool and as a holy piece of writing because it deals with the trials and tribulations, the questions, the problems, the exaltations, of people dealing with and learning from the same God that I worship today. Maybe when I start to realize that no one has EVER understood God, can I feel at home in this book. I just started to think that I really do love the Bible, for all that it has to offer, and all that it doesn't.
