Space Reborn: Bleeding Out

I have long been an advocate for young earth creationism. Evolution, though pushed by the scientific community at large, is not a theory you will find me clinging to. 

However...

One thing I have learned is that, evolution of life is true. Now before you wonder if my beliefs have changed, let me explain: I am not talking about Darwin's ramblings, but rather, the evolution of our thoughts, our minds, our hearts.

Perhaps it is best to outline it this way: I am not the same person I was yesterday. Or the day before. Or even 10 years before. Who I am has, in a sense, evolved. It has changed. My life and soul have begun the process of bleeding out what I once was, and has been bleeding it out for a very long time. 

I am no longer the brash young man, but rather, have evolved into someone more thoughtful, and hopefully more wise. Someone who attempts to be more kind, more merciful, more... human... while remembering others, even those whom I find disagreement and fault with, are also human.

I pray to God that I continue this process of bleeding out the old man, and evolving into the new one- the one whom is Christ like in nature, in truth, in hope, in love.  After all, He says that anyone who is in Christ is a new creation... and that new creation is so much more, so much better than the old.

This is space, reborn.
