By the way, Brandon and all, I pulled the lever. And I saved 10 people's lives (only 1 came back to thank me). But I expect you all to be here to hold me while I cry because it was my only child on the other track. I wanted to save him. He was 14, but he was screaming, "Mom, save them!" "Pull the lever!" "Mom!" "Do it!" My screams were drowned out by the sound of the train bearing down on my only child.

I wonder if the Father felt something like this as He watched His Son having spikes driven through his hands and feet, as He watched Him struggle for each breath until he breathed his last agonizing breath and they thrust a spear into His side. No wonder the sky turned black and the temple veil was torn in two! It was a declaration! It was an act of war. In my mind it reminds me of Mel Gibson...Jesus crying "It is finished!" Mel Gibson screaming, "Freedom!" It was an act of war that at first glance appeared to be defeat - but what a victory was won!

Oh yeah, what were we talking about? Complicity? Culpability? ??

(a bit dramatic but...my thoughts anyway)

"Sometimes all we can do is go back to the character of God, and drop anchor there."
