Take my love. Take my land.
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don’t care, I’m still free.
You can’t take the sky from me.Take me out to the black.
Tell ‘em I ain’t comin’ back.
Burn the land And boil the sea.
You can’t take the sky from me.Have no place I can be since I found Serenity.
But you can’t take the sky from me.(Theme from “Firefly” by Joss Whedon)
Why Restroom -> Movies? Have you ever tried drinking a large drink and lasting through the whole 3 hour epic “Lord of the Rings”? We saw the movie 3 or 4 times and I missed a different part each time as I nipped out the bathroom!
Then there’s Doubt -> Reasonable. I wasn’t thinking in a legal sense - the way that some people walk out of a courtroom because of “reasonable doubt”. My thoughts were in the arena of faith. Perhaps I am a heretic, but, I think that it is entirely reasonable to live a life of faith and still entertain doubt. To say it a different way, all Christians are in a process of transformation and we’re all in an unfinished state. A life of faith is lived in that unfinished state and doubt is reasonable, and I am skeptical of anyone who claims to never doubt! The issue isn’t whether we doubt or not (a binary, white/black, cleanly defined state) its a messy, analog, shade of grey world where we have just enough evidence to believe, and working on the rest.
