Truth cannot always take sides

“What a wonderful message! We have been practically forced by our society into “OR” thinking. This OR that. Fr. Roar makes this abundantly clear and he also tells us that living by faith brings with it a certain anxiety. Are we right? Are we wrong? We live by faith. In a beautiful song, Barry McGuire sings “Blessed are you when you trust what you just can’t understand.” Even in our anxiety we are blessed.
In our secular world there are so many dichotomies where we are expected to use this “OR” thinking. Which brings us to a great author by the name of Jim Collins. He calls “OR” thinking “the tyranny of OR”. He offers a solution and that is “AND” thinking. It’s like a buffet. You can have this AND that.
When we succumb to the tyranny of OR we limit ourselves. God has given us an abundance. And it is with abundant thinking that we can move ahead instead of living in the daily diet of the scarcity of OR that is offered so freely and we are expected to live in it. Shake off the shackles and use the beauty of abundance God has given us AND your life will be better for it.
I give thanks to my loving brother in Christ, Rich Barone who shared this podcast with me and with whom I can share in wonderful dialogue on so many issues facing us. Thanks for sharing again Rich. I love ya man!”
