There is beauty in life...life is permeated with it...but not all of it makes sense, is holy or understandable.Man Named Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299332753447389139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741778026488235834.post-11201957394940737922013-04-30T13:25:25.044-04:002013-04-30T13:25:25.044-04:00It is a reality of living in a fallen world that a...It is a reality of living in a fallen world that allows for the evil and painful to intrude. Just as the little boy that cried wolf was no longer believed when true danger appeared, our endless need to push forth forgiveness and acceptance without depth and compassionate backing each take us a step further to losing the meaning and value of such extensions.
