To live in the "Black and White" areas of life - following all the rules - is often easier than living with tension. Some people hide within the rules and "shoulds" of life. But the essence of life cannot always be found by coloring within the lines. Life is not always so cut and dry, not always so easy as just following the rules. God is more often than not encountered in the gray areas of life, where things are not so clear or shiny or new or clean. Often God is in the margins and shadows and murky areas of life and relationships - right where we live.
