Head Cold Theology

I'm not much of a theologian...
but I'm going to share with you my deep deep thoughts on suffering in the world...
some people use the pain and suffering of our human world to make their point that they would never, could never believe in a God that allowed such things...

and although the whole concept of God being the one that 'allows' pain is a whole 'nother blog...
I just wanted to share with you my "Head Cold Theology"

everyone breathes...to have life, to be a human being you must breath air...
to do this we use our nose and mouth...but normally we just use our noses...
and we concentrate so very hard on the idea of breathing otherwise we would stop...
no...we just go around breathing in and out all day long and think nothing of the wonders of breath...
and then WHAM!
we get a head cold and all we can think about is using our nose to breath...how in the world we were we just walking around the day before breathing in and out of our nose and not thinking a thing about how wonderful and free we were to use our nose....
we have no concept how wondrous and glorious our noses are until we lose the ability to take in air thru those two simple holes in the middle of our face are....

having a simple head cold reminds us for a few short days or weeks how much better life it with a nose....

life has pain...
pain is part of free will...
if we had no pain we would have no choice 
...and without pain we would never understand the beauty of life around us, the glories of God's creation is only magnified by pain...

pain in our lives allow us to turn to God and understand his love fully!  pain in our lives allow us to accept God's gift of salvation...without pain we lose choice...

the end...
you have now been graced with my very simple version of "Head Cold Theology!"
pass the Kleenex please!
