Acceptance

Dear Lord please help us to live as we believe, and to accept ourselves for who and what we are. To accept our own shortcomings and limitations, and push on without fear to living a life full of artful productivity, without giving up in the face of scorn and ridicule. Please help us to influence others to find direction and happiness with satisfaction and success in spite of weaknesses. Please may the Holy Spirit guide and protect us all as we seek Your Kingdom, and thank You for all of the great gifts and blessings that You have given us, and please forgive our sins the same as we forgive the mistakes of others, in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.

Struggle

“The world of science lives fairly comfortably with paradox. We know that light is a wave, and also that light is a particle. The discoveries made in the infinitely small world of particle physics indicate randomness and chance, and I do not find it any more difficult to live with the paradox of a universe of randomness and chance and a universe of pattern and purpose than I do with light as a wave and light as a particle. Living with contradiction is nothing new to the human being.”
