Theology, Philosophy, Religion, ect. are all relationships with information. All is an exercise of the mind and the human will...once in a while, life intrvenes and you find yourself in situations of great hardship. At that point it ceases to be a relationaship wih information--no longer a philosophy, no longer a religion, no longer a theology. Your life is reduced to survival--breathe in, breathe out, and watch time pass. In these times, the exercise of the mind and the will are gone. IT IS IN THAT TIME that all the "other stuff" is gone, and then we truly find who we are, what our character is, and there, in the arena of our own life, we find God. There we find our purpose, and there we find hope. At least that's how it happenesd for me, but I learn a lot slower than a lot of folks.
