Building Fences

I am taking a class at church called Foundations. The goal of this class is to discuss 11 "Core Truths" of my faith. I was so excited when I initially read about it in the church bulletin. The class description stated questions such as "Were there dinosaurs on the Ark?" would be answered. Well it was a no brainier... I would have to go and find out!
Over the course of months we have answered many of my questions. There are some things that we have not. For those questions that remain unanswered our teacher Dave has given us the concept of "building a fence around it." In my mind, the fence is a orange safety fence...like the one my husband uses to keep the dogs off certain areas when he plants grass. The significance of this concept has kinda been baffling me lately. There are certain things we just cannot explain or answer. Like the dinosaurs on the Ark or why my children can remember the words (verbatim) from a movie but not to get their dirty clothes out of the bathroom after showering. Some things just cannot be explained. I mean they can if you really try but is it always necessary to know the answer?
Anyway building fences.... usually we do it to protect something. Our family, pets or property. To keep intruders at a safe distance. Sometimes we build fences around out heart, to keep from being disappointed. But with all this literal and figurative building sometimes we miss the experience. That is what I don't want myself or my children to do, is miss the experience. So I am challenging each of you. To for the day live in the moment. I am not saying live willy nilly. But to try to enjoy or learn from the experiences that each of you face today. Many of our actions and reactions are like a rock skipped across a pond. There is the initial splash , but there is also the ripples that affect so much more than the surface.
