# ant-fall-grace theory-
this morning, a brother confided in me his struggles. struggles that most guys know all too well.
i prayed for him and kept him in mind.
while preparing breakfast, i took a bottle of honey to mix into my bowl of oats.
naturally, there would a lot of ants scurrying around the bottle so i started to flick them off.
then came a question that i had always wondered: do ants die when they fall off high places?
my conclusion was no. their small and nearly weightless bodies are not resistant enough to wind and air, thus lightening the impact on the ground.
isn't that what God's grace is like?
whenever we fall, God's winds of grace are so much bigger and stronger than us and will lift us up, sometimes higher than where we were before.
theology is beautiful when it mixes with our humanity, our heart and our spirit.
if it just exists in our minds and engages our intellect alone, we have missed the point.
the story ends like this;
