Can One?

Being an emotional and physical wreck apparently opens up a whole new world of contemplation and I figure at least my mind isn't gone (although my memory is starting to dwindle). So I sit and think since sitting and thinking tend to be done very well at the same time.


Can one touch and not feel?

Can one examine and not see?

Can one listen and not hear?

Can one eat and not taste?

Can one be loved and not love?

Can one TRULY seek Christ and never find Him?


The answer is no.




Can one be sick and healthy?

Can one be crowded and alone?

Can one be tired with lots of energy?

Can one be poor with abundant riches?

Can one live and die in the same moment?

Can one sleep and be awake?

Can one sing without a voice?

Can one cry and not be sad?

Can one hurt without bodily harm?

Can one carry and hold nothing?

Can one be raised in church and never see heaven?

The answer is yes.
