John said: It could lead one to think God is some malicious trickster bent on frustrating everyone, but I know Him better than that. He has shown me that it will all work out eventually, and in the back of my life at every point, if i take the time to hear it, I can hear and feel the vibration of God's voice proclaiming what he is doing.

John siad: But when I calm myself and can feel that harmony of all things, that music, I realize that the only way to remove suffering is to quit kicking against the goads. To just become water and adapt to everything. I can't possibly take the entire system of things alluded to in the Bible and taught by Jesus and make them apply to my life in a satisfactory way. I just don't see enough of the whole picture to see how it all fits. So i must trust. I guess this is faith. But it is far from blind. It is a faith built from experience. I can test what I know against it, and it has not failed yet.
Bill said: Amen.
