Gray

In the beginning there was nothing, yet our concept of nothing always seems to look a lot like something - it looks like He’s already started.
         In the beginning man was alone, yet he also wasn’t: we count fellowship with God as not being alone, yet He Himself doesn’t.

So why is that beginnings seem to very gray? A fact that we all vaguely recognize, but would never really say.

We’ve talked about the beginning of earth as well as the beginning of man, and no one would say that a murderous brotherhood was God’s idea of a standard family plan.

         Then there’s the fact that Abraham was an uncircumcised pagan and Isaac wasn’t really his firstborn son. Jacob lied, cheated, and fought with God, yet always somehow won, and this father of the nation of God was also the second son.
