Following, Living and Praxis

Dan Poxon over at bleat.ca (the site that used to host this humble blog) has written a thoughtful piece entitled "Ricky Gervais and God (Part Deux)" which includes this: 
Chesterton quipped long ago that "the Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; rather, it has been found difficult and left untried.” In other words, denying the idea of God may cost you nothing; accepting the ideal of God may cost you everything.
Sigh. Lord, have mercy.

  1. Blessed Advent Gene. It has been said that Advent is not for the weak of heart, the fact that you are facing into Chesterton's challenge is an indication that you have a courageous heart.
