I know! I know! Its 00:30 on a Sunday morning. What does the 0 stand for? O my God its early. Yet I need to write this down or I won't sleep.
FW and I were lying in bed talking about the obstinacy of some people who do not believe in God, or even A god. Where we see evidence of God's existence and creative work they see something random and accidental. I'm not knocking their view, after all each to their own.
Then FW came up with this vision, after we'd prayed, about what was on our minds:
A person is running away, being pursued by Truth. It's like one of those comedy chase scenes from films and cartoons. They look over their shoulder and see Truth behind them. They don't want to be caught and so they throw whatever comes to hand behind them to slow, or stop, Truth's pursuit. There's chairs, stones, tables, animals and small buildings being thrown around. Yet, as we know, Truth can be a persistent little bugger at times.
They keep glancing back but, like a shark, Truth is still there and slowly gaining. No matter what they do Truth circles closer and closer. Filling their vision and taking over their immediate world. No matter how fast they run Truth is quicker and untiring.
Then, eventually, Truth catches them. Pins them to the ground and...............
Tickles them.
Is that not a wonderful image. God doesn't catch you and hit you or hurt you. He catches you, jumps on you and tickles you remorselessly. Yet it never hurts, like prolonged tickling does but keeps you laughing.
