Reading this recap of an amazing set of circumstances leads me to two thoughts. One is the open-mouthed …uhmmm… strangeness of the story. Even that word is so anemic in its descriptive power. It opens up the reality of the metaphysical world. (Though not for everyone)
As I think on this … whatever this is, I cannot escape the fact that my worldview is so limited. I have little context in which to place this.
The second thing I ponder is a fixture of that worldview of mine. I am a Christian, in pursuit of truth, regardless of where it leads me. In the chase I have found the existence of a Deity to be the best answer given all the evidence. Which means this story must fit somewhere in that. It certainly does not take away from the applied metaphysics of Christianity, though it is not robust in its support of it either. Internally, there is an assumption that God has not revealed to us all his cards. We are left with holes in our understanding that are unfathomable. But, considering the focus of the topic, I am okay with that. What else can I do?
