The Resounding Ache...

"There is a pain at the heart of the
fallen world that creates a relentless
difficulty...We are dying...The Spirit
awakens in us a resounding sense that
things are not as they should be, of how
they are supposed to be, and of how they
will be again in the day to come...The
soul-deep groaning has a purpose to drive
us toward God...and the final result of all
of this is not annihilation, but rather
transformation, adoption, and glorification."
-Dr. Thoennes

The state of things here is deeply wrong.
And there are times that I fall into that
deep wrong from what I know to be right.
I guess part of becoming a whole person, and
letting people see that whole person means
letting down the mystere that can be used to
hide one's imperfections.
I am imperfect.
I do imperfectly.
I feel terrible.
