In my mind’s eye, I see us and our universe as a scoop of ice cream taken from the tub of the real existence…the actual reality we call heaven and the spirit world. We can infer from Genesis that we started out as, maybe, a scoop of peaches and cream but since Satan was allowed to sow his bacteria of doubt and deception about the purpose, meaning and plan of Our Lord into our ‘ local reality’ we have instead turned a sweet scoop into a harsh lump of rocky road ice cream with bitter, foul tasting coal dust spattered about within the scoop instead. So, at the time that The Lord decides to ‘taste’ us will we be sweet in his mouth, or will he spit us out as something bitter?
God bless, Jim
