"The opposite of faith is not doubt but certainty."
_____________________________________________
I read this quote and thought, AMEN! That is exactly what I have been thinking. I tried my best to describe this phenomenon in my Andrew Peterson post from last month, but Lamott says it so much better. I am amazed at her ability to describe concepts so perfectly in so few words. Maybe if I were a professional writer, then I could do it too, but I am just a amateur blogger.
SO, mainly I wanted to add this here as a footnote to my earlier post--and to say "Thanks!" to Anne Lamott for working through what she calls "shitty rough drafts" in order create art out of the silly English language.
If you are a person of faith, but are unsatisfied with the BLACK and WHITE versions of old, you must read Anne Lamott.
