i'm so shocked at this clark. i mean, what's so bad about believing in the
magic of jesus. a man who lived, hoped, believed, and trusted in an intimacy
with the creator greater than anyone around at the time was willing to
acknowledge could even exist. and for his hope, he was killed. and
afterwards, some how, some way, that hope made itself known to those who were
close to him and it passed on to many. a little bread and wine, an embrace,
and hope and trust in love transcends law and lasts beyond the shortness of
our flesh and bones.
and if that very same hope helped the man kick booze, why do you find that so
offensive? and why are you so angry?
