The Parable of the Hollow Tree

When I was a kid, I used to love climbing trees, it was one of my favorite things to do. On one particular afternoon when I was about 11, I was down the street from my house hiking in a wooded area with a bunch of trees and tall grass. I remember there was this one specific tree with a low branch that looked easy enough to jump up, grab, and climb. However, when I ended up grabbing the branch in mid jump, I was greeted with the loud crack like thunder as the branch snapped and completely ripped a large side off of the tree. Both the branch and myself hit the ground with a significant force as the air was violently sucked out of my lungs. I was lucky the branch fell in front of me and not on top of me because it was extremely heavy and I was alone out there. I could have found myself in my very own rendition of 127 hours.

Sometimes, I Wish I was a Fundamentalist

Yesterday, I encountered a fundamentalist that accused a group of people that I was with of being guilty of theological laziness. As if we’re selling out and trying to take the easy road compared to the right road. So it got me thinking about my journey, my path, all the things I studied, all the things I believe, and why I believe them.

So after a couple minutes of deep thought, I confess that sometimes, I wish I was still a Fundamentalist.
