I don’t like when I feel a responsibility to comment on the state of the world. It’s not as though you don’t have your own opinions, and it’s not as though mine really count. But this is one of those times when I feel that, considering the impact of tonight on our world, I’m almost required to find words to say.
So, here’s all I’ve got:
My faith is not based on knowing in which drawer to find the scissors, or how many minutes it takes from me to get from home to work. It’s not based on some theory that little gnomes are holding up the world with strings and duct tape.
I looked up at the sky tonight and (since I live in the boondocks) saw more stars than I could ever possibly count. I took breaths of fresh, cool air, I stood still as this awesome earth continued its orbit.
My God is so big.
And that’s where my faith comes from, that’s where the peace is.
