The Corner






In every room is sneaky little corner
Waiting with nefarious glee
For my bare feet to make an entrance 
Oh yes, it’s waiting for me

Even if my belongings are neatly in order
It never seems to fail
The pain from my toe signals to my brain
Out goes my ignominious wail

What have I done to deserve such a deed
To incur that corner’s wrath?
It even sneaks up on innocent ol’ me
As I lift my leg into the bath

How do I not see it so unsurprisingly there;
Looking so still and mundane?
One day I’ll give it a kick or two or three
And it shan’t do that again

Will, Free

The term floats around through "secular" & "sacred" society as a choice weapon for debate.  As we understand it, "free will" is defined as a free choice.  But, a free choice of what?  To choose God; or not.  At this juncture, predestination and determinism enter the scene.  Common understanding of predestination is that God has already chosen who He is going to choose.  The question to this method is this:  wherein lies Grace and the Cross?  Determinism, as I understand, suggests that we have no free will because external causes impress upon us.  Herein lies the psychological nature versus nurture paradigm.  But, can Free Will be understood with a fresh lens? Before he can formulate a word, an infant takes cues off of the expressions of his caretaker's face.  As he ages, he learns to understand the dialect that is impressed upon him.  These are beautiful phenomenons.  He grows up learning the rules set down for him a...
