Relax.
The Oregon sunset from my inadequate camera phone
For the last few days I’ve been off the grid.
Almost literally. I’ve been on one of the Westernmost parts of the US, on the Oregon coast a little bit West of Portland. My great aunt has a house right on the beach. It’s one of those sentinel houses that stands guard over redundant path the sun frequents as it dips itself into the pacific.
It’s been good for the soul. I’ve been out here with my dad, trying to get to know myself better by learning to know him better.
Not to mention God.
I’m guessing there’s just some infinite truths we don’t get to know about our heavenly Father until we explore some of the finite truths about our earthly fathers. The enemy whispers that the failings of our human fathers are also the failing of an imperfect God that calls Himself perfect.
I’m certainly no expert in this stuff. I’m just a guy trying to understand his father better.
And his Father.
