Locating the Gospel Inside

Not having a father, I was a really ignorant, undirected kid. I didn't know that we were supposed to have ambitions or plans. I never contemplated the future, never considered what I could accomplish or become. I was completely undirected and unmotivated until I was converted (became a born-again Christian) at the age of twenty-five. That did not unstupid me, but at least I had a father now.

After a long while I reflected on what I could have had and become if I hadn't been so careless in my early years:  "I could have . . ." A lot of things fill the blank.

Now I look at my life and see the unity we have OFFERED to us by the Ineffable.
