Changes

For these reasons, and not without considerable soul-searching and earnest prayer, I find myself unable to accept the notion of Biblical literalism.  The Bible is a good and holy book; it is, in fact, THE holy book.  It contains the most profound wisdom ever set down in writing.  What it is not, as far as I'm concerned, is a roadmap to Heaven.  It is, instead, a map to the beginning of a road.  That road is a rocky, steep, and narrow one.  It's very hard to walk.  It ends in a hill called Golgotha.  However, Christ has made us a promise: He will walk that road with us...every step of the way.
