I think the experience of becoming embodied is a challenge, our bodies are a challenge. The present unique opportunities and temptations, and this life is, in many ways, a "test drive." It's our opportunity to master the challenges.John Gustav-Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557940681381951271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2018387523779914474.post-66699981402928507482011-10-21T21:29:48.534-05:002011-10-21T21:29:48.534-05:00I love this post!

And I am so happy that you have started writing more frequently again, lately.<br /><br />"I have also observed that, while I often make decisions in the dark, the consequence of any decision I make is to obtain more light. I've learned that life decisions are very often a kind of trial and error process. And it is possible to look at life as something whose end goal is, after all, not to judge us, but to educate us."<br /><br />I think you are spot on, here. If we accept that everyone all have varying potentials and understandings and that it is only through Christ that we are saved, then the same endpoint is there for everyone (that is, it's available)... so the value of the experience must be in the journey.Trevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03258097334170692217noreply@blogger.com
