I received some great comments regarding last Thursday’s “Paradox” blog. Thank you. 
I’m not sure there is anything which constantly reminds us of the existence of the spiritual world, and the difference between the spiritual and worldly realms, as what Biblical paradoxes do. Even so, as a rule, we still try to live on the wrong side of the paradox, thus repeatedly banging our heads against the wall and wondering why everything in life seems so hard. Yet, we can solve so many of our personal and family issues by just following the paradoxical decrees God has put forth. We are in a tough world but we aren’t helpless in navigating our way through it. Our help is found in tapping into the spiritual realm which is so embodied in paradox. In short, we have to live the Right way, rather than what seems easiest, natural, or most tempting. We don’t have to clear our own path for happiness. It is already there; we just have to choose to walk on it.
