to post or not to post...

Sitting here at my window, I watch people go by. Watch them walk their dogs, walk down the street, either casually or on a mission. because we live in a fallen world, where man is sinful, i know they have pain, just as i do.

so i sit here, crying for my pain. and theirs. praying for them, that they may know christ and his hope, peace, truth. its the only thing that makes me feel better.

c.s. lewis says, "the reason for the difference is only too plain. you never know how much you really believe something until its truth or falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. it is easy to say you believe a rope to be strong and sound as long as you are merely using it to cord a box. but suppose you had to hang by that rope over a precipice. wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it?"
