no words

Scott at Nachfolge linked today to an amazing post on Real Live Preacher. Just yesterday I was in a bible study on the lectionary texts and we ended up in a theodicy discussion, centering around exactly the questions and problems this post so heartbreakingly and accurately identifies.

Read it.

Yes, saw this myself just this morning, on a day I was dreading. Also read the immediately preceding post, where rlp gives some background and his own theological take. The line that is haunting me from that one is: "life knows nothing of fairness." Moving, heart-breaking.

esperanza - absolutely. Both posts are wonderful, even as you wish they never had to be written.
