This is what it looked like to have your mind blown away 1600 years ago. It still happens...
(Augustine here contemplates the unsearchable mysteries of God in predestination)
"You a man expect an answer from me: I also am a man. Wherefore, let us both listen to Him who says, 'O man, who are you?' Believing igorance is better than presumptuous knowledge. Seek merits; you will find naught but punishment.
O the height!
Peter denies,
a thief believes.
O the height!
Do you ask the reason?
I will tremble at the height; I cannot sound the depth. Paul found rest because he found wonder, He calls the judgements of God 'unsearchable;' and have you come to search them? He says that his ways are 'past finding out,' and do you seek to find them out?"
Augustine

Hey Obed!
Great to hear from you! I'm sure missing the fellowship, long talks and going out for chicken noodles with you and Shalem. I am still in the States, and I'm engaged to marry the most wonderful girl in the whole world!
Where are you going for your Master's at? Hope to hear from you soon. :)
Take care, stay weak in you, but strong in the Lord,
Josh
