I love words. Words never go unnoticed. They move, create, translate, bind and tear apart. Some people know how to use them so well. Here you can find some linguistic beauty I can't let go unnoticed. Maybe even an attempt to use them well myself.

Quote with 4 notes

I OFTEN CARRY around a box. A box that contains nothing, though for years I believed it held everything. This box held God. Or so I thought.

Like so many who have grown up in the church, I have now emerged from the inward, high-built walls of the church in which I was protected from the “lies of the world.” The oddity is I now find a world far different than what I was told about. What once was described in black and white, gray is all I see.

God, the scriptures and TRUTH are not wrapped neatly, contained in some quaint little box with a pretty little bow. The fullness of God and His truth can never be contained in my box.

Now I am not saying God and Truth cannot be known. What I am saying is that neither one can be fully known. I want to understand. I want to explore. I want to describe. This infinite God, no longer in a box, is out in the wild world. And I intend to follow Him there.
