I Kiss Therefore I Am

I Samuel 24-28

There is much in scripture I don’t understand and today’s readings prove it.  A man is turned to stone, his wife marries an outlaw, elite guards sleep on watch and the dead come back in spirit form.  How is our 21^st century brain to deal with all this?

What if for a moment we considered all that is unbelievable but that we believe is true.  Like these;

I think I am alive.   I’m very often moved to amazement that I’m alive and even more amazed that a piece of meat, my brain, is conscious and gives me, my body, an awareness that I am.  Conscious meat???

Love!!!  To broad.  Kissing and making love to a cherished spouse.  Who ever thought that up is most assuredly Devine. 

Boulders.  I have been next to boulders on mountaintops, jungles and above the Arctic Circle.  Every time they have a profound affect on me.  How can stone do that to meat?

Lastly is art.  Every day I feel as if Someone loves me and is always providing for my good.  Making art is the only thing I’ve ever done that comes close to allowing me to say “thank you” in the way I fell I need to say it.
