I’ve been lobbing some “softball” (non-controversial) posts lately and, being a trailblazer at heart, I have a need to throw us into the deeper end of the pool for some adventuresome theological dialogue. (How’s that for a mixed bag of metaphors!)
But tumbling down this rabbit hole into wonderland will be challenging and not for those with a frail relationship with God, nor for those who cannot see beyond their comfortable dogmatic certitudes. So, before we leap, I need to conduct a simple vision test to make sure you’re up for the journey. Here’s the test. What’s wrong with the picture above? (No cheating by clicking on the picture or reading the comments for the answer before guessing. Santa’s watching! 🙂 ) Seriously, I would love to hear your initial response to this, even if you’ve seen it before. Did you see it before peeking?
Take your time… I’ll wait…

Took me a minute, but… in my heart, I knew that spade was a spade.
It always is, whether we see it rightly or not. Thanks for your comments.
The hearts are black and the spades are red.
You pass… 😊
Pack your gear… 🙂
Mel, I don’t know a thing about cards so I had to cheat by reading some of the comments, but HERE is what I do know. We are so excited about the rabbit hole. . .we are passionate about seeing Wonderland, and the idea of trailblazing makes me grin. So let’s go! We are with you all the way.
Pack your gear… 🙂
I like to be prepared.. .any hints on what gear I might be needing?? 🙂
An open and humble heart and a teachable mind that can consider things without fear or need to be right and have everything put in a safe little box of theological certitudes.
Well said. I’m game!
The King should be black and the Ace should be red. And I got it without reading any other replies. Do I get a gold star for the day?
Yes. Give yourself a gold star! And pack your bags… 🙂
Is this going to be another one of your posts that I re-blog?
🙂
My initial (not my final) thought was that the 3 was out of place….hehheheh, everybody calm down!
Yup, that 3 is a deceptive little devil, isn’t he. 🙂
No black hearts in the kingdom. Ha ha. You’re funny. You know I’m in.
Ready & Interested.
