Free speech?  We all appreciate it; we all, in principle, endorse it.  That's why I am troubled to read about various protests mounted to prevent speakers of both political persuasions from speaking on college campuses.

     Regardless of whether someone else's political beliefs align with mine, we all are beings who are loved and magnificently designed.
     

    Therein is our dilemma.  We appreciate what God has made, yet we recoil at how it often seems to be so wrong.  That's life in a fallen world.  Just as Psalm 19 states that the heavens "are telling the glory of God," so let the earth on which we live speak with the confusing cacophony of the human creation.

     After all, it's only us--and God.
