One last thing, I just chanced upon sammie's blog, and this sentence really "cracked" me up:"if the world were to be thrown into chaos one day (actually, it kind of looks like it's heading towards that)". I totally agree with how at the end of it all, As don't quite matter. but rather, it's what we do with our lives now. and yes, I'd much rather be studying the bible too;)
but the reason why I just had to quote sammie is because one of the lit texts we did last semester talked about the chaos. Chaos theory in Arcadia by Tom Stoppard. it just made me realise that indeed the world is spiralling towards chaos, and we are really just getting "disorder out of disorder into disorder". and that is when I realise, that secular texts actually have openings for us to link it to His word. precisely because literature texts(probably psychology, science, math...texts too)reflect or attempt to help us to understand certain truths in our lives, we are able to read them and understand how the issues look like under the light of our faith. and honestly, there is chaos all around, but we are still more than able to dance; to dance on this mountaintop, to see His kingdom come. because afterall, it is pretty calm in the eye of the storm no? the chaos is all around us, and it may shake us up a bit, but let our foundations be strong and right, so that when the winds blow, when the waters rise, this house of God will not fall.
Father, You are our refuge, our strong tower, our very present help in times of need. Let us hide in Your shelter; take comfort in Your resting place.
P.S- it's extremely interesting to see how sammie said the exact same thing Stoppard tries to say in his play. perhaps sammie, you have read Arcadia before?;)
