Alright, I'm going to get all serious for a minute, but that's all.
Don't expect any more after this.
The great wonder of God is in the profound mixture of the positive and the negative.
We are desperately wicked and fallen creatures, and we live in the most desperately wicked and fallen world, in the most desperately wicked of times... and YET... in the midst of this, as bad as it is, God can still save us, bless us, and give us unfathomable peace.
THAT is the miracle.
God reaches into the darkest of places, and he doesn't remove the darkness around us; he instead puts the light into our hearts... so that we walk through a profoundly dark world, and yet our hearts are full of light and peace.
Alright.
Don't expect me to be serious again for a really long time.
