You know you're pathetic when...

... you think this joke is AMAZING just like me.

"Rene Descartes walks into a bar.
The bartender says, 'Yo, Rene, how you doing? Can I get you a beer?'
'I think not,' replies Descartes. And then he disappears."

So good. I know.

God's a Fool?

While sitting in Borders on Sunday night, I was reading a new book by Brennan Manning entitled, "the furious longing of God". Even though I only got through about 20 pages of the book, I love it. It's not really even the book what Manning says that I love, it's the way what he says makes me think. For example, he quotes an old French hymn that essentially says "The love of God is His folly" and it started me thinking. I spent February reading the book of Proverbs, which is chock full of verses of fools and their folly. One that popped into my mind as I was reading was Prov. 26:11, which says, "As a dog returns to its vomit, so a fool repeats his folly." Hence the dilemma.

IF "The love of God is His folly" AND "a fool repeats his folly", does that mean God is a fool? And if no, which is what I suspect, does the all mighty, all powerful, perfect Creator do things foolishly? Think about it. From a human perspective, yes! The way God pursues us really is foolish. He constantly speaks, constantly shows His love for us, constantly shows us how much we need Him, and He waits. He lets us make the decision. He allows us the free will to CHOSE Him.

Isn't that what love truly is? Absolutely beautiful.
