A small "stealth" bomber seen here in front of a jump gate. I like the cool blue on the left with the red sun on the right.

Fun captures of my favorite games.

Grammatolotry

Grammatolotry: The worship of words: regard for the letter while ignoring the spirit of something.

.

Students of faith must be aware of grammatolotry.  This one concept might just be responsible for all human conflict over religion.  We get hung up on the words and miss the message.  Words are just symbols of meaning.  Despite our intense ability to document, archive and record, we just can not quite keep our world from changing.  We change, society changes, the world changes and so then our symbols change. 

. 

We look back to the ancient records of wisdom like the Bible, the Qu’ran, the Torah and many other books of Truth and we assign them higher status.  The authors were undeniably wise and we should remember what they said.  But even the wise will tell you that the path of all people is not singular.  Enlightenment is universal, but the paths are many.  We suffer from grammatolotry.  The words give us some guidance.  But the truth is in our heart.  You know the truth as you know yourself.  When you know this, the words seem as quaint as a children’s primer.  While the words may be beautiful, poetic and spiritual, they are yet only symbols of the Truth--not the Truth itself. 

Kid Quote of the Week

As for for turning 9, Gabe just told me, "I don't really feel that different but I see things as a bit shorter.   I can now reach the coat hanger." ~My son commenting on turning 9
