You Just Never Know

The political battles in this country are becoming so heated that it is easy for each side to depersonalize the other and act like people on the other side are caricatures rather than human beings. This story is a reminder that God doesn't make that mistake.

Ana Marie Cox "came out" last week as a Christian. I have previously written about Kirsten Powers story about coming to Christ. Powers is a center-left journalist. If Powers is descibed as center-left, Cox is one of those Screaming Yellow Zonker-types on the far Left  who are True Believers of everything Left, i.e.- all Republicans are evil, not just misguided, LGBT, Global Warming, etc., etc. She was the founding editor of one of the snarkiest journals of the Left, a regular on MSNBC and generally not the sort of person I would sit down with to enjoy a reasoned political discussion. But...

Thirty years ago Cox read The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis and Narnia stayed with her all these years and provided a refuge 4 years ago when her marriage fell apart and her mother became seriously ill. As things continued to fall apart, she said that she realized that she had:

" ... to start looking for her “Higher Power” not just in a “general neighborhood,” but rather looking for Him at a “specific address.”

Well said and the promise that is made is that if we seek, we will find and she did. Here is where she ended - and really just started - her journey:

"Here is why I believe I am a Christian: I believe I have a personal relationship with my Lord and Savior. I believe in the grace offered by the Resurrection. I try everyday to give my will and my life over to God. I try to be like Christ. I get down on my knees to pray."

Welcome to the family Ms. Cox. We may not agree much about politics, but it's a big family and we have the same Father - He will work it out somehow. I wish you well.
