And this is how we go on with life, if we can. That we make of all the things that go wrong, that we make of the world around us better than if we had never thought about the possibility of what misfires, or worse. This is the way to be, the way of love: and faith is to believe that what we cannot get to, that even if tragedy strike, and the better is missed by those who leave the world — that there is a God who is love, which can better than we can conceivably imagine make things better than right for those lost to the happenstance. The clue is Jesus Christ, firstly to know that God is good, if the Son is the same nature as the Father. And the other thing is of course the prime article of Christian faith, that after put to a horrible death, the Savior defeated death itself therefore. That Christ did not win by way of any kind of war we can posit, but by utter obedience and faith. And this is how we go on with life, if we can.

I've told you part of this story before.....I got this bands tattoo on my shoulder years ago. The band is called Social Distortion....Well I had a 3 day Epiphany where many things were revealed to me.....Immediately after the Epiphany ended I told my dad to take me to the record store......The band had a new album out and I wanted to look at it......This picture is a picture of the back of the CD that I saw right after my Epiphany.......I tried to tell people what was revealed to me, but people just thought I was nuts......So I'll keep my secrets to myself and watch all the self righteous morons wander in their nonsense.
ps.....That band is still around and actually is releasing a new record today......
I've been a guitar player for almost 20 years, and haven't sold out....All I gotta do is play one song and make people look like fools....I heard Keith Richards say that even though the Rolling Stones make incredible amounts of money, the record companies execs and ceo's make way much more, and probably spend their money on warfare and weapons in a much bigger game.....Everyone is a pawn to something until you reach the summit......
