Pencil Shavings

Shit happens. I think the easiest way to get through life is to just clean it up and try your best to keep further shit from falling on you. Sometimes it's big, sometimes small, but mind you, it always happens. Where does God fit in this resigned theory? He would say, all shit happens for good, which comes down to the same message - wipe it off, get up, smile, and carry on. We are mere human beings who will never be able to comprehend fully the situation we are in, or judge what is fair. We only know what is, is.

The is-ness is a Buddhist concept is it not? But doesn't the "is" also contain the fullness of its past and the potential of the future? Doesn't that become Christian then? Because at any one point of is, I am the sum conglomerate of my past experiences as a forgiven sinner, and look towards the perfection of all things, even as I fully engaged in today because it says that his kingdom is here.
