I think the Abraham/Isaac story is a good example of perplexities of life and our trials to make meaning out of chaos, particularly when we think God is ultimately behind events.Mister Curiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00113134172902610883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219079785158681455.post-67397530573245722642010-03-07T12:28:47.419-05:002010-03-07T12:28:47.419-05:00Thanks for that link C.
