Musings on Holiness, and can we ever say “I am holy, follow me”?



I live in a very fragile glass house;

Therefore I should not throw stones.

Who said anything about throwing stones?

What about growing things?

Glass houses are good for that.

But what if I grow weeds in my glass house?

The rain falls, and the sun shines on the good and the bad,

But in your house, you can choose what to water, and what to let slip away.

The problem is not the fragility, or the transparency,

It is the dirt.

Those in dirty houses should not grow plants?

No, those who live in glass houses should not throw stones,

And if you want to grow something, you have to get your hands dirty.
