OUTER SPACE

No, I’m not dealing with the issue of aliens. There are plenty of places one can go for that.

Not always where you want. But then you still won’t have trouble finding it if you care to look.

Now in this case I’m speaking of the space outer to our thinking. The territory we don’t always visit.

But the problem is not wanting to visit it either. To be afraid you will find what you are not wanting to discover.

I was speaking to a friend of mine today. We were discussing the issue of politics. Normally not a subject I love talking about with those of different options.

Now in this case the person was expressing the view of how this one candidate as so perfect for the office. In his opinion the individual stood for all the right values.

Ironically, he is a brother in the faith, but we couldn’t be more in contrast of viewing this person. I had listened to the person and didn’t see God in anything being said.

I sensed a lot of hate. But no love or real faith. Mainly I was very stumped how he saw otherwise.

Fortunately, we didn’t argue. But didn’t have much of a conversation either. So it merely ended with us each retreating to our own lair of thought.

And that was perhaps for the best. Still it did amaze me how two people can listen to the same person and see something totally different.

Part of the problem with perception. Doesn’t mean truth changes, just that what I see as truth is not the same as the next person.

I am glad God’s truth is more important. And that will always be the best part of the process.

I don’t imagine we will chat on the subject again. And I will always respect his right to his opinion.

Just sad to accept how a person as a candidate can have such volatile views and be popular. That is the part, which I’m not sure God condones.

But as long as people have brains they will always find a reason to think more than listen. And to want give more than take.

A process of human nature God touches with so much grace,
