Weekly Jottings

"What struck me with great force was that - that Christianity is messey and complicated, that it confronts the human condition unflinchingly and therefire truthfully. Is does not present an easy model of existence. Is has no simple answers on pain, suffering and loss. It tells us that we are a mess and while it urges us to work for good here on earth, it tells us that we cannot, ultimately, save ourselves without Gods help. It presents us with difficult moral choices.
In a profound sense, it reflects reality."
