A STUNNING CONTRAST

My day at work today began and ended with experiences that couldn't have been anymore opposite. Conversations with two people who were so clearly stuck in their paradigms and unaware of it and two co-workers who are learning to approach life through new paradigms. The two stuck displayed an extreme confidence in what they were saying and the two moving into new freedoms (that I get to observe everyday at work) were less certain about everything yet full of hope and wonder. What a difference.


I know where I want to live every moment. I will take the life of faith that embraces the reality of the uncertainty of this life yet is full of hope and trust in God, over the life of misguided extreme confidence in things that might look like they offer certainty and security and yet aren't certain or secure at all.


It really is a stunning contrast.
