A whole human life is very Jonah-esque, with the choice element still for us to work out in our own Story. Think of it...our Earth experience begins with the principle of rebellion surfacing when we are treated as competent & taken on board the ship of Adult Society. Our rebellion is toxic to others, causing storms around our vicinity, and there is always a rejection process equivalent to being thrown out of the boat. My experience is that people admit to it, just like Jonah did. We are created to be fair and honest to at least that extent where we are "caught out" and things are obviously our own fault. We find ourselves afloat, with trust or despair our only options. Some do sink and drown, but those of us who lean into trust are sent a fish to save us (evangelist friend(s)?), and when we are willing to take up our mission to others, God will have bleached us into an effective appearance and we will be successful, however reluctant we feel. These thoughts came to me as I looked at your white beard, Doug...don't shave it off, lol! You published this on my birthday, by the way, I just turned 69, and hardly have any white hairs, so maybe I have a bit more bleaching in store, before I become very effective for Jesus...still just soaking it up. Thanks for all your videos, which I watch alot, so I should buy a t-shirt, eh? Another thought (& since I was so big when I was expecting my son, that I sailed around the house like a Spanish galleon, I think I'm able to say this with full political correctness), how like coming out of a whale it is for each human to be born! Surely that's some sort of full circle within the paradigm! And did you all know that even babies of darker races are born white, with blue-ish eyes? How many more layers are there to just this concept? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-T04MWZq8o
