SPOSE THEY'LL FIND HIM...THE "BAD GUY"?
Confused? So's everyone, even the Urologist and Oncologist. They don't say "confused" because they are paid a lot--A LOT!!--to know stuff but not tell stuff. But their eyebrows lift in response to "Where's it going?" "How far along?" "How long?"
The "bad guy" ain't there. In the world of blaming Bush and almost anyone/anything else, I suppose we could pin this one on God. Yea, the Sovereign One, Creator of Heaven and Earth. Jesus, we are assured, is the creative agent AND the "Sustainer" of earth. And health. Let's blame them. I do.
After all, it is a mean, onery, vengeful Judge who carries out the punishment for sin just like He said He would. Blame Him, not Adam who stood by passively as the Snake cajoled his wife. He watched her succumb and didn't even lift the Garden hoe to the Snake's head.
OK, enuf bloggish sermon. I do blame God for the extraordinary life that has no explanation but Grace. It's been a long one, in and out of more danger than a Tuesday evening of TV. Seventy years worth and, they tell me, probably ten years or more to go. At least I know what my schedule is. Sorta.
So, other than Adam (and Obama is just as related to him as Bush), ain't no one to blame. You take the Whole Story to account and recognize every day we have is a gift from the Source.
Romans put it this way in 5:17(Message) If death got the upper hand through one man's wrongdoing, can you imagine the breathtaking recovery life makes, sovereign life, in those who grasp with both hands this wildly extravagant life-gift, this grand setting-everything-right, that the one man Jesus Christ provides?
Have you visited the book site recently. I just did. I LOVE it. (Which is why this is a break in my headlong effort to meet a book proposal deadline). http://www.generationalfathering.com/ Subscribe, why don't you?
