Finals...

In Philo we call this "darkness"suffering, death, STRESS, but, there is hope.. not just optimism (It's all going to be okay") but genuine hope... knowing that God is there, no matter what happens, to bring us into fullness. We may not understand what is happening right now to be good, because we, as our finite selves, cannot view how things really unfold, but we know that God does, and he intends good.. not because he has to, but because he IS GOOD and that is hope - having - faith in God.

[In my boredom - hopefully during sembreak - I'll probably write up some philosophical stuff here, I like philo, I like thinking, but not all the time- usually during sad or quiet times, late at night or early in the morning]
