TANATA is devoted to discussing the paradoxes and the mysteries of life, among which is the paradox of the coexistence of good and evil. “God is love,” John tells us. Evil exists, we would suggest, not because God is detached or unconcerned, but because free will exists which is required for true, unforced love to exist. Still, it is painfully hard to reconcile this paradox. We believe that all evil one day will be judged and destroyed, until then we must pray.

JOB XI

7 “Can you fathom the mysteries of God? Can you probe the limits of the Almighty?

8 They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than the depths of the grave — what can you know?

9 Their measure is longer than the earth and wider than the sea.

10 “If he comes along and confines you in prison and convenes a court, who can oppose him?

11 Surely he recognizes deceitful men; and when he sees evil, does he not take note?

12 But a witless man can no more become wise than a wild donkey’s colt can be born a man.

13 “Yet if you devote your heart to him and stretch out your hands to him,

14 if you put away the sin that is in your hand and allow no evil to dwell in your tent,

15 then you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and without fear.

16 You will surely forget your trouble, recalling it only as waters gone by.

17 Life will be brighter than noonday, and darkness will become like morning.

18 You will be secure, because there is hope; you will look about you and take your rest in safety.

19 You will lie down, with no one to make you afraid, and many will court your favor.

« Geocaching is Such Fun »

DateMonday, August 11, 2008

Geocaching is such fun!
Thrills and chills for everyone.
Soon you’ll love your GPS,
When they rip out your address …
Take those street signs grind ‘em up,
Like poets who interrupt.
Longitude and latitude
Zero in on me and you.
Watch that geocacher go
Find the spot, Dad! You’re so slow.
In the cache box … wondrous prizes!
Fish it out! Give me a try!
Wow, a marble and a whistle
When you leave get out your Bissel
Leave this place tidy, neat
For the clawed and hooven feet
Just a thing, they like it neat
Quotas filled, deadlines to meet
But miss this deadline, blood you’ll taste
The new boss lays … your soul to waste.
