writing

you may be surprised to hear that two of my greatest passions are writing and reading. i prize the Holy Bible above all else and yet i tend to lose myself so easily in the words of others. this was in fact quite a dangerous hobby in my younger years as i dabbled in all sorts of nonsensical writings. i have since learned to hold the words of others in light of the truth of Scripture. however, this was not so easy during my impressionable years. whereupon i put my faith in the words of those i most misunderstood. it seemed to me that such madness beyond my sense of understanding must therefore be profoundly true. i later realized that such great faith had been so far misplaced. however, this deep belief in what i could not understand fueled my fire for faith in the truth. not that i claim now to understand the truth, in fact, i am relieved to discover that God is far greater than i could possibly know or even imagine. the more i know Him, the more i know that i don't know Him.
