Have you eaten the pudding yet?
If so, please note whether or not the proof of your eating the pudding is in the living of your life. Or something like that. What a mixed-up metaphor. Read the article, and you'll get it.
Grace, love, acceptance, etc is only a theory if those who ascribe to it don't practice it.
BTW: Pudding is yummy. What does the scripture say? Taste and see...

Is it not possible for a person to see God as more accepting than themselves? Sometimes a lack of practice is as you say, I agree - a theory. Sometimes I think it could just be being human. We all struggle, don't we?
Hi Amie,
Yes. I suppose it is possible. Although, if the world is a projection of out thinking then it might be helpful to look at ourselves again if we think God is more accepting than we are. maybe we're more accepting (or God is less accepting) than we think we think.
How's that for a convoluted sentence? :)
As for practice, our truths emerge from our lived reality. And it is never too early or too late to change my lived reality. It always happens in the present. Liberation always occurs in the now.
The struggle, then, happens when my lived experience is clashing with what I want to be. Or when my living doesn't match my theorizing.
At that point, I have an opportunity to transform my lived experience, my theory, or both. That is a tremendous blessing -- as I see it.
Love,
Kevin
