Do you own? Can I borrow when you finish? Ideas of resignation and relinquishment...SO counterintuitive (i like those :-) )...and SO like Jesus' way. And yes. Me too. I would not want the faith that complements shallow, easily overcome doubts. It seems like it would be an easily overcome faith. I have wrestled with dark, foreboding doubts and rejoice in the brightness of a clinging faith. As I grow older, I'm finding a continuous pattern of circumstances that serve to give those doubts more and more nasty teeth. Stupid circumstances! But I find that the sharper the teeth...the more fantastic it feels to escape them into an ever stronger, more tenacious, more beautiful faith. I like that it's hard. I'm wierd that way.
