I think I need to be more mindful that there is a greater wisdom that often goes against the conventional logic of this world. \r\n \r\nIt\'s interesting to think of this from a non-Christian point of view. It\'s almost a cache 22 situation where you\'re not going to understand this true wisdom unless you know Christ. Looking from the outside in this seems like a cop-out to believe craziness. I suppose it\'s why Paul speaks of this as the foolishness of God. | \r\n
