The Flip of a Coin - Rev. Paul Gonyea

"When we flip a coin and see it lying there face-up, we only see one side. We don't think about the fact that the other side is just 'this far away.' We accept without question the verdict of the side that's showing, the one fact that confronts us, the appearance we see, as the way things have to be, because that's all we can see. We think that God has to pick one way or the other, just because we do. We get so fixated on what we do know, we forget that there's an infinite range of possibilities that we don't know. We forget that God usually has a better idea. We forget that God is both sides of the coin, and the edge, and the place it lands, and the consciousness of the person who decided to toss the coin. God has no limits; so why do we insist on limiting God?'
