"For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty."
2 Peter 1:16
With all of the conspiracy theories out there and the things that seem downright crazy to believe... it is good to remember that God isn't one of them. :) No matter how strange it can sound to other people when we talk about what we know of God, or how hard it is to find meaning sometimes when everything seems disconnected and falling apart... he is the one thing that never goes away, and that actually makes all the rest of it make sense. I think we limit ourselves a lot when we try to make God fit into our tiny little imaginations that only allow things that we can see and touch. ... God is much more than that, and we limit what he can teach us if we refuse to try to see and go farther than that. There is no fiction as amazing as the reality that is God, and if we think that he is something that any human on earth could dream up, then we are definitely not seeing him clearly. God surpasses fiction... and is actually what Fiction has always wanted to be. So, today, let's rejoice in a little reality. I love fiction... don't misunderstand me... but it is NOTHING compared to the reality that is God.
