huh...

1 Colossians 1:16-17
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for hinm.
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together...

In graduate school we talk about a lot of theories. We have theories for child development, we have theories for identity development. I'm at the tail end of a class that has been talking about theories and paradigms and what science is about. In general physics is regarded as the most pure science, and yet physics has science. Newton had his laws of gravity and all that. Einstein his relativity. But they are theories. They are supported by evidence but they are created by human beings trying to make sense of the world around them; trying to describe how it works.

What if Colossians 1:17 is true: in [Jesus] all things hold together...there is no gravity, only God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit?
What if we lived like He was with us all the time?

that's such a thought provoking question. you know what, i think these days Mr. Fredrick, my fear is that he IS with me all the time. That in fact he is in the places I don't think he is, that he is in fact the men and women i don't feel comfortable with him being within, and this is altogether troubling.

Because he is so much more than I ever expected. And I need to learn to accept him in those places.
