Thrashing, No Doubt

Two Great Horned Owls plus a

screech owl,  chorus and quaver.

Trees thrashing.

"If the Word is rightly

proclaimed, then it will

also awaken offense"

This is encouraging--and makes

good sense too. Of course giving
offense don't mean the Word is

proclaimed rightly.  But with no

offense,  no rightful Word is

proclaimed; that seems certain.

Granted this  refers to “in the

beginning” Word and “gospel”

& indicates  religious doctrine

and not physics,  psychology

or sociology.

Like wise: Dialectic doesn’t begin

until someone is offended, insulted,

aggravated, bothered, annoyed:

feeding on opposition in play—as

does  any team sport and maybe

concerts as well as back porch

old time music.

 '"Without contraries is no Progress."

says Blake and we know it’s true.

Stress: toxic or tonic?  School and

be schooled.  How we frame it

counts.
