Hello!

Welcome to my blog... a place where I share my thoughts and observations of life and this crazy, wonderful world. I write my two cents about how I see things, but I would love to hear your comments and feedback. This could be a safe place for constructive dialogue and friendly discussion. I've always loved Thomas Jefferson's quote, which graces Clark Hall at my alma mater: "Here we are not afraid to follow truth wherever it may lead, nor to tolerate any error so long as reason is left free to combat it." So "come now, let us reason together" (Isaiah 1:18).

Looking at a Heart

Anna was telling me today that her class at school was learning about the human body, and they got to see a real heart on a video. She said it was gross.

Will asked Anna, "Did you see any sins?"

"What?" she asked back, obviously confused.

"Did you see any sins?" he repeated.

At this point I realized what he meant. Growing up in a Christian home, he knows that everyone has sin in his/her "heart." So naturally he expected that if one actually looked at a heart, one would see sins there.

"You can't really see the sins there, Will," I explained.

"Oh," he replied, and carried on with what he was doing.
