hind-site

i've seen birth and i've seen death. i've seen joy and i've seen madness. i've seen humility and i've seen pride. i've seen selfishness and i've seen sacrifice.

i've seen families unified and families broken. i've seen fathers love and fathers leave, mothers hope and mothers despair, children trust and children doubt.

i've seen rich and i've seen poor, pretentious and selfless, educated and ignorant.

i've seen churches worship and i've seen churches fall. i've seen pastors preach and pastors practice, leaders lead and leaders sin. i've seen man bear God's image and i've seen man tear it down.

and at different places along the way i've seen it all, at one point or another, crawl into the back pocket of my life. taking it out and dusting it off i'd like to take the things i've seen and look for the answers to the questions that we've felt it too hard to ask.
