poetry: specks in the universe
Once there was a universe,
made precise and neat,
along came a speck of stardust
that paradoxically could speak,
it claimed everything was cold and bleak!

If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become accountable for all of it. For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
(James 2:8-13 ESV)
Gospel
For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
(2 Corinthians 5:21 ESV)

Random Thought
We have put child safety covers over our doors so our toddler can’t run out of the house. If the creators of Jurassic Park had put those on the doors then the velociraptors would never have been able to open those doors.
