Bitter Sweet

This week I decided to up the ante on semi sweet dark chocolate switching from 72% Leonidas to 85% Godiva. The experience was bitter sweet and much like ethics and theology in the land. I was shocked to find that non terminal folks can get euthanized in Belgium, if they find life giving a mental suffering that they choose no longer to bear.

It also seems that health care professions like mine , pharmacy, have few if any Christians populating the upcoming graduates. Most striking theology seems to be groping for a God that's understandable by the people.

Sweet are the churches both Roman Catholic and Evangelical that though small in number seem to be inhabited by those seeking God. Surprising are the philosophers who now grapple with the God of mystery and yet the God who 'saturates' His creation with love.

It seems that much remains a paradox of bitter sweet in a land full of surprises. By the way 72 % dark Leonidas is still the king according to my palate.
