And it isn’t only my sense of taste that has me convinced of the reality of a higher, greater Being. How about the gifts of touch, sight, and others? My wife, with a scary ability to manipulates these senses, can move my consciousness in a heavenly direction at will.
When I ponder these things, it also occurs to me that God must be quite good. After all, it isn’t only that my wife has this God-given ability, but that I like it!
Getting back to chocolate and peanut butter, I have to say that the existence of evil is more than a fairy tale too. The proof is in the fact that my children’s Halloween candy is disappearing at a faster rate than their parents would allow. I know kids will be kids, but I don’t think the kids are the problem. We’ve placed the candy bag in a place that can only be reached by the adults in the house.
It’s time we got it through our thick skulls: God created boobs, sex, laughter, the cocoa bean and peanuts. He said, “Whoa, this is good! I’m going to give it to you. Let’s see what you can do with this stuff! Just use a little self control, okay?”
Then we started stuffing our faces and kneeling before the candy bag in the middle of the night. What did we get for our efforts? Cavities, and souls that are heavy and bloated.
I want more out of life. How about you?
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I have come so they can have life. I want them to have it in the fullest possible way.” –Jesus (John 10:10, New International Reader's Version)
