Thoughts from 2 seconds ago, now 3, now 4. etc.

The future is a tricky thing indeed. It brings hope to the hopeless when it confuses fatal ideology. Yet it can send the hopeful to their knees in confused desperation. It completely disassembles all assumptions and predications. But this concerns me not at all. What I fear is that the future might be a precise fulfillment of the present. This type of future requires present action. A future that requires us to “be the change.” And sometimes that feels like an enormous responsibility. And then there is God’s grace. And this keeps me going.
