Great catch, Tex, that’s another way it could be put.
I try to latch onto these additional insights as I hear them and use them later as God inspires. I wish folks who disagree with me, and I sure ain’t perfect yet. would suggest something better without torpedoing the constructive power I am trying to grasp and channel, however clumsily I do it. Please do it less clumsily than I; more grace is always a wonderful thing. But keep that baby as you pitch that bath water.
LOL! We all struggle to communicate adequately. I know I have a hard time with it!
Analogies are imperfect things, and sometimes they really do convey a freight of meaning. But other times, they are so vivid that they actually distract from the point!
