Paradox is not \u201ccherry picking\u201d or trying to have it both ways. G.K. Chesterton said, \u201cParadox is the truth standing on its head to get attention.\u201d A good example of this is centered on our path to salvation. Each of us has a unique life history which in so many ways dictates the progression of our journey. However, we will encounter many of the same obstacles, walk through many of the same thresholds and cross paths with many of the same temptations. These parallel paths converge at the same destination. Not only this, it can also be said, one thing we truly have in common is we are all different. Paradox at its finest.
\nSo is there room for paradox in your world view, in your working model so to speak? It really doesn\u2019t matter one way or the other. What\u2019s important is your model is being completed, always building, always being restored, always simulating what\u2019s going on around you in a credible way. After all, what we are striving to do is to awaken a person\u2019s curiosity and bring her spirituality to the forefront. Evangelization takes courage, the willingness to try, allowing yourself to be challenged and giving yourself permission to fail. Blessings for all of us. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
